“From Hello to Goodbye: Proactive Tips for Maintaining Positive Employee Relations”
DEIBA stands for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Accessibility. In this interactive event hosted by the Ignite Career Center of JCS, we will review proactive practices as well as pitfalls to avoid when implementing DEIBA initiatives and related programs in the workplace.
We will consider the following questions:
- Does Title VII’s protection against religious discrimination of applicants include the absence of a religious belief or faith?
- Aside from required affirmative action, can an employer target certain populations to enhance the diversity of its workforce?
- What protection, if any, do white men have from race discrimination?
- What do research and statistics show about age discrimination against millennials as compared to older workers?
- What are the pros and cons of workplace affinity groups/employee resource groups (ERGs)?
