How to get there

Description

The traditional definition of culture fit is "I'd want to be stuck in an airport with this person". There’s a natural tendency to associate with those like ourselves.

  • What does this mean for members of the LGBTQ+ community?

  • How do you get invited to the conversation while remaining true to yourself?

  • How can organizations of all sizes build a strong culture that thrives on people from diverse backgrounds?

  • When the largest number of jobs are placed through referrals, how do organizations make sure they don’t compromise their results by attracting more of the same?

Join us for a panel discussion exploring the intersection of fit, diversity and results.
