Softchoice | Inclusive transformation: Unlocking the potential of DE&I

While the importance organizations offer DE&I represents substantial progress, the implementation leaves much to be desired. To be truly effective, DE&I initiatives need intent, consistency, and vision. Yes, DE&I is essential to employee engagement, talent acquisition, talent retention, and company reputation. But it’s about more than that.

DE&I is a movement for fairness, decency, openness, opportunity, and growth. It needs more foresight and an injection of pragmatism to move mindsets from compliance to genuine commitment. We are fortunate to live in a time where our conscience and commerce can go together, and decision-making must fall in line with this shift, without stopping at surface-level checkbox commitments.

A company’s approach to diversity, equity, and inclusivity is an integral priority, and not a bolt-on, in your digital transformation strategy. And understanding the importance of diversity is just the start of the conversation. What follows is a challenging and enriching journey of tough questions, compelling answers, and genuine self-reflection.

We invite you to join us at GOTSTYLE in the Toronto Distillery District for this exclusive invite-only event on Tuesday, September 27 at 7 pm ET for a roundtable chat hosted by Cheryl Stookes with a group of incredible leaders who will share:

The opportunity of DE&I and why the idea is especially relevant today, in tech and beyond
The pitfalls of seeing DE&I as a compliance exercise
How DE&I can influence employee experience
How leaders can manage diverse teams
What it means to be truly inclusive

The fireside chat will be followed by a four-course menu and a custom shirt fitting.
