Diversity, Equity & Inclusion | Affinity Group
As the world and the workforce—not to mention modern consumers—reflect ever greater diversity, DEI planning has become a critical component of any corporate citizenship agenda. Smart organizations now prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion for a variety of reasons:
- To support their company mission and core values, as a socially-conscious brand
- To foster growth and inform a next-generation business model
- To leverage the proven performance benefits of maintaining diverse teams and boards
- And simply to operate in a fair and equitable way
The Affinity Group for DEI executives exists to support your efforts, as you work to identify and correct institutional bias, discrimination, and all forms of workplace inequality.
Hosted by the BCCCC, DEI leaders should join this forum to:
- Participate in an ongoing dialogue about LGBTQI+ issues, racial and gender equity
- Exchange ideas and work with peers on diverse workforce recruitment and retention strategies
- Gain knowledge and insight into best practices for DEI programs
- Explore cross-sector collaboration with HBCUs, minority-owned suppliers, and non-profit groups working to promote DEI in your community
