Things To Consider When Choosing A Diversity/Inclusion Speaker
When you have an event that is going to require a speaker, the first thing you should do is research what kind of speakers are available. Be sure to find a speaker who can relate to your audience and speak on topics that they will enjoy. Diversity is the variety of characteristics and experiences that make people different from one another.
Inclusion refers to creating an environment where everyone feels welcome and respected. Diversity and inclusion are essential to creating a productive and inclusive workplace. That is why most companies hire top diversity and inclusion speakers to motivate their employees.
When choosing a diversity and inclusion speaker, consider the following points:
What experience do they have working with or around diverse populations?
