DEI Talent Development Special Interest Group

Meet people from private and public sectors in training, coaching, performance improvement, human resources, leadership development, and organizational development with an emphasis on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in our work. This interest group's overall goal is to exchange ideas, share best practices and strategies, and resources to help shift the culture of Talent Development through DEI lenses and build a culture that weaves DEI into the fabric of our work. Feel free to invite others who may benefit from this group and are committed to building an inclusive, varied workplace welcoming to people of all backgrounds.

This Session:

Positive, supportive mentoring relationships can facilitate personal development and career mobility for proteges. Many organizations choose to formalize mentoring relationships in order to:

• provide these opportunities to employees
• positively impact business outcomes
• come to be known as a great place to work

When talent development professionals design and run formalized mentoring programs in organizations, they may consider:

• the purpose of this Mentoring Program
• do all employees who wish to participate have access?
• what barriers have previously kept underrepresented groups from accessing mentoring programs?

Join us on October 20 to discuss DEI Considerations in Mentoring Programs. Come ready to discuss ways bias can be mitigated in Mentoring Programs and best practices you’ve discovered as a talent development professional.
