Building Belonging and Inclusion: DEIB for Small Business Success
Want to build a more inclusive workplace that also supports and improves your bottom line? This hands-on session shows B.C. business owners how Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging – DEIB – connects to hiring, policies, and legal responsibilities. Walk away with practical tools you can use right away.
Did You Know?
1. Inclusive workplaces perform better. According to Deloitte, businesses that invest in inclusion see up to 2.3x higher cash flow per employee.
2. Diverse teams are more innovative. Companies with higher-than-average diversity earn 45% more revenue from innovation, helping small businesses stay competitive in changing markets.
