In Glassdoor’s 2020 Diversity Hiring Survey, more than 3 out of 4 job seekers and employees (76%) reported a diverse workforce was a stand-out factor when evaluating companies and job offers. If your organization’s benefits offerings are not perceived as inclusive, you may be missing out on top talent or failing when it comes to retention. Beyond benefit offerings, inclusive benefits are a key element of an actionable Diversity, Equity and Inclusion strategy. 

In this session speakers Lauren Fabbri and Whitney White from Marsh McLennan Agency will guide us in 1) Defining inclusive benefits 2) Describing the strategic connection of inclusive benefits to organizational success 3) Providing examples of inclusive benefits strategies that are relevant to today’s workforce.
