- How the Coronavirus is Exacerbating Bias and Inequality In Your Organization and What To Do About It
- The coronavirus is laying bias bare and exacerbating inequalities globally, both in our communities and our organizations. This unprecedented time has seen many of us doing a lot of fast thinking - we’re designing work-from-home plans, deciding how to modify performance reviews for the pandemic context, making layoffs, etc. If we don’t filter our plans and decisions through an equity lens, our organizations and our talent are going to pay the price in ways we can predict - increased pay gaps, deepening culture challenges, reduced diversity and inclusion - and in ways we can’t. Practices like the Equity Sequence™️ - a series of 5 simple equity-focused questions - can be learned in very little time and used to reduce bias and increase equity one question and one decision at a time.

- D&I is Dying During the Pandemic, How to Bring it Back to Life
- When the Covid-19 crisis escalated, organizations around the world quickly began to press pause on ad hoc spending or work deemed “not essential” to the bottom line or to crisis responses. In many organizations, D&I budgets and initiatives were some of the earliest programmatic casualties. This has been true even in the many organizations that have long projected that D&I is core to business, culture, and success. Organizational strategist and Co-Founder of Tidal Equality, Anna Dewar Gully will share her perspectives on why D&I is dying during this pandemic and she will offer new ideas on how to bring an equity perspective back to life in your organization, even if your leadership has temporarily put it on the back burner.

- Diversity and Inclusion in the Age of Coronavirus
- The COVID-19 Pandemic and the demands of social distancing are taxing our businesses and the ability of leaders, colleagues and newly remote workers to interact effectively and productively. But as these and other economic stressors have mounted, little time has been spent considering how issues of diversity, equity and inclusion might be playing out in this new normal. In this short interactive session, Dr. Leeno Karumanchery, Chief Diversity Officer of MESH/diversity, will explore how strong leadership and communication are key to effective D&I in the age of Coronavirus.

Dr. Leeno KarumancheryA sociologist with a PhD focused in Equity Studies and 20+ years of experience in the field of diversity and inclusion, Leeno does his best to combine his education, research and expertise as a facilitator and consultant to help organizations engage inclusion in a way that drives positive, pragmatic and sustainable change. He is an official member of the Forbes Human Resources Council, and an internationally recognized speaker and consultant in the areas of emotional intelligence, communication and performance. He’s widely published, and his newest book, “The Old Black Lesbian Elephant in the Room: Why Diversity Does and Does Not Work in Organizations,” will be out later this year.
But that’s really just the surface layer of his credentials and his work in the field. Like so many other peoples of color who immigrated as infants, his experience really is more that of a 2nd generation immigrant of color. He carries no “foreign” accent, no great understanding of the “homeland” (beyond family stories) and perhaps most importantly, as a 50-year-old man, he still experiences the occasional interaction that tells him some people will never truly see him as belonging in this country. In this sense, again, his biography is very much a standard immigrant story, but it’s a story accented by subtle oddities and everyday critical awakenings. These are the strands of his diverse tapestry. His maleness, brownness, heterosexuality, his memories of an impoverished childhood buoyed by unconditional love. These unique strands are what drove him to study social justice and equity, and they are what inform both his personal humanity and his lifelong passion and dedication to helping others engage inclusion.
