Wi2023: Designing and Implementing a DEI Program for Your Store

Employers use diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives to create a more equitable, inclusive, and dynamic workforce. Designing and developing a DEI program involves four main phases: 1) Data collection and analysis to determine the need for change; 2) Strategy design to match business objectives; 3) Implementation; 4) Evaluation and continuing audit of the plan. This session will be lead by Jason Thompson, author of Diversity and Inclusion Matters: Tactics and Tools to Inspire Equity and Game-Changing Performance (Wiley). Booksellers will leave this session with practical implementation ideas to begin a DEI program for their store. (All) Speakers: Jason Thompson, VP for DE&I at Western Governors University   Recorded February 22, 2023 at Winter Institute 2023 in Seattle, WA   Additional bookstore education resources can be found at www.bookweb.org.
