Leading and Managing Diversity, Inclusion and Conflict Resolution: A Skill Building Workshop for the Success of your Business
You're invited and encouraged to join us for an informative day of learning. This essential program empowers business leaders and human resource managers to successfully recruit, retain and improve productivity through progressive workplace policies that create equality for LGBT+ employees and clients across Florida.
Diversity in the workplace promotes acceptance, respect and teamwork. Companies that overcome diversity issues often achieve greater productivity, competitive advantage, profit and company morale.
