Navigating the Future of Work: A DEIA & ESG Lunch & Learn Series

From Risk to Resilience: Building Sustainable and Inclusive Organizations for the Future Workplace and Marketplace

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, UNITED STATES, December 28, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As we enter a new era defined by evolving Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) expectations, proactive risk management is no longer optional for organizations seeking success.

To help navigate this dynamic landscape, The Society for Diversity announces its "Global ESG & DEIA Risk Management" Lunch & Learn Series, kicking off with Part I on Friday, January 5, 2024, from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM EST.

This engaging online series, led by renowned experts Leah Smiley, CDE^® and D. I. Lee, PhD, CDE^®, will equip participants with actionable insights and strategies to navigate the complex intersection of ESG and DEIA.

D. I. Lee, PhD, CDE^®, The Society for Diversity’s Global Vice President of DEI Education and Certification, says, “The future of work demands a shift from compliance to consciousness. The convergence of ESG and DEIA presents an extraordinary opportunity to build a more resilient future. This series is about embracing that opportunity, learning from each other, and charting a course towards a brighter tomorrow.”

Through interactive sessions, attendees will delve into:

• The Business Case for ESG & DEIA: Understand the financial and reputational benefits of integrating these priorities into your organizational strategy.

• Measuring Success & Building Momentum: Learn effective strategies for tracking progress towards your ESG and DEIA goals and ensure consistent improvement over time.

“Organizations that fail to prioritize ESG and DEIA risk not just reputational damage, but financial penalties, a talent exodus, and ultimately, obsolescence,” says Leah Smiley, The Society for Diversity’s President and diversity and inclusion expert. “This series isn't about feel-good platitudes. It's about equipping leaders to navigate a rapidly changing landscape and build organizations that thrive in the future workplace and marketplace.”
