“Best Practices in DEI Series” Module 6: “Creating More Inclusive, Equitable Workforce Processes” — Jan 24 Online Workshop

The Performance Excellence Network — in partnership with the Wisconsin Center for Performance Excellence — is pleased to host a special online workshop series: “Best Practices in DEI.”  The series will be seven stand-alone half-day modules and can either be attended “ala carte” or as a complete series.  The content is uniquely aligned with the Baldrige Performance Excellence Framework, exploring many facets of diversity, equity, and inclusion through the lens of this proven Framework (though your organization does not have to be officially using Baldrige to benefit from the value of this series!). The sixth module is Tuesday, January 24: “Creating More Inclusive, Equitable Workforce Processes.”  (Other module dates and topics listed below.)

The series will feature seven half-day online workshops — highly interactive discussions that will explore results-based methods and proven effective practices that will help organizations better appreciate diversity; improve inclusion within its workforce, supplier network, and marketplace; and promote greater equity within their organizational systems.  Participants will walk away from each session with a tool, a template, and/or a process – all carefully designed or curated by experienced DEI experts.

Each workshop will be facilitated from a combination of leading experts in DEI:

• Lisa Tabor, President & Owner, CultureBrokers LLC
• Sandra Ogunremi, DHA, Spiritual Care Services, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Monument Health, Rapid City SD
• Jessica Shryack, PhD, Organizational Consultant and founder of Clarity Collaborations
• Dee Sabol, Executive Director, Diversity Council
• Plus other DEI experts to be added throughout the series!

Session 6 is January 24 from 9:00-1:00 CT and will focus on creating more inclusive, equitable workforce processes (Item 5.2 in the Baldrige Framework).  Specific areas of focus in this workshop include:

• Understanding drivers of & assessing workforce engagement (5.2a1-2)
• Creating an inclusive organizational culture (5.2b)
• Building DEI concepts into performance management and accountability process (5.2c1)
• Creating a more inclusive performance and career development process (5.2c2-4)

We will also explore best practices of high performing organizations (those who have won the Baldrige National Quality Award) to better understand how they've integrated DEI into these processes.

If attending “ala carte,” this workshop is $200 for PEN/WCPE members ($400 for non-members).  Teams of 3-4 members $175/each; teams of 5+ are $150/each. Investment for the full series is $1000 (for members only), prorated to $350 for this and the last module series (May 3).
