Building a culture of inclusion and belonging starts with embracing change. As employees navigate the constant changes and stressors of balancing work and personal life, making better policies for all employees is more important than ever. So how can leaders ensure that employees have time for self-care and still maintain a level of productivity, engagement, and growth? 

Research has shown that Employee Resources Groups (ERGs) can be a powerful tool to drive meaningful engagement within an organization. When employees feel supported in the workplace, they thrive, driving productivity growth for your bottom line. So how can you give employees the power to make that meaningful difference? And what can senior leaders do to build trust, set performance goals, and demonstrate value in this business strategy?

In this webinar, Chief Diversity, Inclusion, and Engagement Officer of March of Dimes, Darlene Slaughter, will share current research, insights, and solutions to get your employees engaged in a significant way and empower change within your organization. You will learn practices that March of Dimes has used to build a culture of inclusion and belonging with tangible results.

• The value of employee resource groups and how they help create a culture of engagement and belonging.
• Strategies to bring working parents into the cultural conversation to make better policies for all employees.
• The tangible results that inclusion has on the recruitment, retention, and reputation of the organization.
