Virtual Roundtable: Anti-Racism for Allies
About this Event
HUB International hosted a virtual roundtable to engage Washington State business executives, HR professionals, and employees in a discussion about how they could lean in on issues of race and racism in the workplace.
To understand the connection between diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and organizational culture, we must each cultivate greater self-awareness and open-mindedness. Increasing your understanding of DEI terms, concepts, frameworks, and best practices is critical to becoming an inclusive leader in your organization and creating a culture of belonging. HUB is partnering with leaders in DEI to jump-start the conversation and provide resources that you can use in your personal and professional lives to be anti-racist.
