What kind of leadership training can best help you guide your organization’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives to measurable growth? According to two of our Paychex HR leaders, Dr. Thelá  Thatch, DEI manager, and Yasmin Hebert, HR Services area manager, authentic, accountable personal commitment to inclusive practices is the key. Hear about the spectrum of diversity across employees, and why HR leaders must be intentional to embrace DEI in their hiring and management practices. And learn why companies that create a sense of belonging for diverse individuals with unique perspectives and skills can achieve significant ROI that benefits a business.
