Masterclass: Navigating the new normal of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion 2022

There have been a lot of important events in the world of D&I in recent years including the #MeToo movement, increasing sexual harassment claims, the Respect@Work report, and Grace Tame winning Australian of the Year in 2021. One of the key barriers to progressing gender equality is that people feel uncomfortable discussing the topic and themes in the workplace. This is due to a number of reasons including the complexity of the subject, fear of upsetting people and fear of saying the wrong thing. In this quickly changing DEI landscape it is vital that all voices are heard and we have balanced conversations.

This masterclass will open the door for men and women to step through together with confidence into this new world. We need to acknowledge that there is fear and address the emotions so that we can get comfortable with the new normal of DEI. It doesn’t have to be a perilous journey. This masterclass will help attendees demystify the language and gain a better understanding of the important topics. Let’s keep it simple and focus on what matters most in what it is really going to take to advance gender equality.
