Elevating HR: The Inclusionary Mindset - Emily Dickens J.D., Corporate Secretary, Chief of Staff and Head of Government Affairs, SHRM

The workplace is rapidly changing. American workplaces are more diverse than ever before, with employees demanding more from their workplace cultures in terms of equity, flexibility and fulfillment. Still, too many workplaces leave individuals excluded, divided, exploited and underutilized.

HR can be the solution. There are more than 162 million Americans in the U.S. workforce today. Globally, 3 billion people go to their jobs every day. HR can have an enormous impact on fixing the problems in our workplaces and our society. HR can make our workplaces more inclusive, productive and successful. 

This presentation will provide insight into how SHRM members can elevate the profession and transform workplaces by focusing on inclusion of untapped talent pools and proactively creating accountable cultures.
