Discover how to cure diversity fatigue and fix key issues driving it
-
Elevate your DEI practices to avoid diversity fatigue in the future
Diversity was on the rise in the aftermath of George Floyd in 2020, but now in 2023, diversity fatigue has taken over. Where companies once created ambitious plans and long-term DEI goals, newly expanded DEI departments, and DEI initiatives supported by employees of all levels, we now see the opposite trend. Common signs of diversity fatigue include: DEI programs are shrinking from lack of support from C-suite leaders, and employees failing to understand the point of diversity training programs.
Diversity fatigue has both external and internal reasons, meaning that besides corporate leaders and executives, the DEI industry itself should also be accountable for for diversity fatigue’s main factors: over-focusing on diversity numbers; prioritizing diversity while overlooking inclusion and equity, putting gender and race before any other diversity criteria; hidden diversity quotas; positive discrimination, inefficient or inappropriate training programs and so onCompanies should reevaluate their DEI approach in order to reverse the diversity fatigue trend. This event will provide practical knowledge on how to spot the early signs of diversity fatigue and manage them preemptively.
This event is for:
-
HR executives and professionals
-
C-suite executives who care
-
DEI experts and consultants
Agenda

Three-layer strategy to avoid diversity fatigue
