9:45 am – Promises and Perils: Generational Perspectives on DE&I

Few HR and business leaders dispute the value of diversity, equity, and inclusion, but many still struggle to make it a reality. At best, DE&I programs have failed to create a more cohesive and inclusive workplace. At worst, they have alienated people, resulting in increased workplace conflict. The fact that there are five generations in the workforce further complicates the matter.

It is commonly believed that because of their more inclusive life experiences, younger generations have a much more positive view of workplace DE&I, but you might be surprised at what recent research studies suggest. During this session, we will explore the varying perspectives across generations and discuss the related challenges and opportunities.
