Deloitte’s research showcases an intensifying combination of economic, social and political issues challenging business strategies worldwide. Each year, Deloitte releases their Global Human Capital Trends that summarizes their research in a comprehensive report for HR professionals.

9:30-10:30 a.m. | Session 2: “I want to feel more included, what can I do?”: Embracing Agency for Inclusion at Work
Greg Berka, Associate Professor & Director of the Master of Talent & Organization Development
(MSTOD) Program, Queens University of Charlotte.
Organizations are dedicating resources to create initiatives supporting the workforce’s inclusion experience. Although results are mixed, in many organizations turnover remains high and inclusion feelings are low. This session highlights the role that individuals play in the inclusion experience of themselves and those with which they interact.
If individuals gain more awareness and understanding of what they and others value, they can embrace agency and alter behaviors to support their own and others’ inclusion experience. A self-assessment under development by the session facilitator, called In@Work Orientation, will be shared. In@Work evaluates which dimensions of inclusion an individual values, one’s inclusion motivations including workplace influences, as well as one’s inclusion mindset and actions in the workplace.
