Webinar Details
Is there a way to get beyond “diversity training” that isn’t merely driven by liability or political correctness, but instead seeks to get at the heart of the matter? Issues such as: How authority and decision-making continues to be preserved within the same old clubs? How certain markets and demographics are not served, but rather exploited, capitalized, monetized? How workers of color can feel absorbed into systems and cultures of acquiescence? How the expression, interpretation, and application of an organization continually is conducted through the lens of one dominant culture?
If you are seeking to change your work culture from within, this webinar is for you. Focused on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the workplace, we will seek to find motivations that are deeper than fear or liability; motivations that stem from love, the reconciling nature of the Gospel, and the vision of the Kingdom of God.
