"Diversity"

Overview:  Saidy will give an introduction to the Diversity Layers Wheel and help us develop skills to establish a common ground as human beings, including how that translates into an individual’s life path. The presentation will also focus on deviations on the recruiting process and the pool of applicants (human capital) HR has to offer to corporations or jobs to potential applicants.

Saidy would like you to submit questions on diversity prior to the meeting. Please feel free to ask questions you are afraid to ask or are unsure if it’s OK to ask.  Responses are anonymous. This is an opportunity to dig deep and gain insight into how we as HR professionals can improve ourselves and our organizations. Please submit your questions at this link by Friday, January 8: https://forms.gle/SCHkLdTU7qEcB3jj7
