As employers seek to promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives throughout their organizations, it’s essential to evaluate their employee benefit programs through a DEI lens. Rather than taking a “one size fits all” approach to employee benefits, an increasing number of employers seek to understand how different employees have distinct needs, expectations and opportunities when it comes to health and retirement benefits, paid leave, flexible work arrangements, training and development opportunities and other perks. Join us for an information webinar on practical, cost-effective strategies employers can implement to ensure their benefit programs support their broader DEI goals and objectives.
