Creating an inclusive workplace goes deeper than hiring practices, diversity reporting and company policies. Ultimately, the way managers interact with employees either builds or kills inclusion. When HR professionals create a partnership with managers in implementing a Safe Conversation Communication Framework, they foster greater innovation, inclusion and collaboration within their organization. Join the conversation with other HR professionals with facilitator Lorie Reichel-Howe.
