Check out this session with Joy Briscoe on Community and Belonging, Belonging First!
Leadership as well as non-leadership engagement, commitment and accountability are critical to the success of any equity, diversity, inclusion and engagement (DEI&B) journey that the organization embarks upon. Without solid alignment, the efforts could be derailed due to multiple root issues that prevent a collective vision at all levels of an organization. DEI&B is an ongoing journey that begins at the individual level to proactively influence sustained behavior changes and organizational outcomes.
