Washington Employers presents the 14th Annual NW Diversity Learning Series
New Directions: Diversity & Inclusion Repositioning for the Future

What is the 2012 Series about?

The practice of Diversity & Inclusion reflects much of what is going on in the United States and the global workforce – it is in a state of constant evolution and change. Change, as we have begun to see, is a core expectation of the emerging workforce. We, as Diversity & Inclusion educators, must drive this change and remain focused on building a more inclusive, healthier, and engaging workplace. This is the essence of the shift from Diversity to Inclusion.

2012 will give us the opportunity to reflect on the past, put it into context of the present, and lay the foundation of an envisioned future that will become the norm for generations to come. With a Theme of New Directions, each 2012 Series session will use emerging trends, data, and practical application methodologies to help each of our organizations prepare to meet the evolving needs of a diverse and inclusion-focused workplace.

What are the sessions about?

The Series’ six highly interactive morning education sessions will address the
following topics:

What is the learning approach for the sessions?

The learning methodologies for the 14th Annual NW Diversity Learning Series will be aimed at the diverse learning styles and needs of our audience. The sessions will be experiential — Adult Learning Theory tells us that most adults learn best by "doing." All participants will be guided to use a variety of methods in each session which will include — but may not be limited to — storytelling, audio presentations (i.e., music, voice), visual / video presentations (i.e., PowerPoint, DVD) and internet media, if available (i.e., YouTube). Each session will also include print resources and references so that participants may continue their education on the topic beyond the morning session.
