What does equity and inclusion look like in the workplace when differences are not always obvious?
Join Connext for this virtual event, where five panelists from different for-profit and nonprofit backgrounds will dialogue around the ?invisible? dimensions of workplace diversity, including neurodivergence, gender, ethnicity, and more. Panelists will share their experiences as it relates to professional development and work culture: how disclosing these not-as-obvious differences has helped or hindered their growth, their relationships with management, and their experiences of support and empowerment ? not despite these nuances, but because of them.
This is a two-part event, starting with a one-hour panel discussion and ending with a 30-minute breakout room session. During the breakout room portion of the event, each panelist will ?host? a breakout room on Zoom and attendees can self-elect which room they would like to go to, if any. Attendees can choose to share their own experiences at this time, or continue asking questions to the panelist who is hosting.
