Boosting Performance: How to Manage Staff Absences During Back-to-School Season

To build a motivated and productive workforce, it is important that you keep discrimination and bias out of your workplace. Promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion at work will help educate your staff about discrimination and the subtle ways in which it may operate. With June being the LGBTQ pride month and Juneteenth celebrating black culture, this is the perfect time to start a conversation about DEI in your workplace.

Besides creating awareness, employers should establish policies and set up a clear process for reporting incidents of discrimination. Unchecked, bias and prejudice in the workplace may negatively impact staff morale, productivity, and the reputation of your business.

In this webinar, our experts, Olivia Cicchini and Dixon Karichian, share guidance on how to create a workplace that is welcoming and respectful to all.
