Finding a Winner: Indicators of Inclusion in the Workplace
KSUnite DEIB Conference Day 2 - November 15, 2022 - Concurrent Conference Sessions Period 2 (10:45am-11:45am)
Flint Hills Room & via Zoom (link to session)
According to a recent survey by the National Association of College and Employers (NACE), over 70% of student respondents indicated that an “organization embraces diversity” is a very or extremely important job attribute. How can students know which prospective employers truly champion diversity in the workplace? What are some indicators that provide evidence of equity and inclusion? This session will introduce students and career development advocates to the “Anti-Racism and Gender Equality Scorecard” (Lewis, 2020). The ARGE Scorecard can help students gather clues about the effectiveness of diversity, equity, inclusion and social justice efforts of potential employers. Join the Career Center in examining indicators related to people and inclusive leadership, retention and advancement, employer branding and community/social impact. Hear tips and advice from students, alumni and campus allies.
