The state of Minnesota is growing increasingly diverse and research shows that organizations that prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace outperform those that do not. While the prioritization of DEI initiatives is a business imperative, it is important to understand that the business community cannot effectively engage underrepresented demographics in the workforce without working on internal workplace inclusion. Hear from the Minnesota Chamber’s Sr. Director of Workforce Diversity and Inclusion, Whitney Harvey, on what can be done to create workplaces that value and acknowledge diversity in its multiple dimensions (including but not limited to gender, race, religion, disability status, veteran status, sexual orientation, etc.) and create a culture of workplace belonging through the review and establishment of internal best practice categories.
