| Diversity has become the buzz word in today’s competitive workplace, but companies are often perplexed by how to approach the concept. The Diversity Continuum™ is the crucial step that separates high achieving organizations from their less successful counterparts by helping them identify what stage they’re at in their diversity strategy, and effectively plan and implement programs and tools appropriate to their stage. But how do you diagnose or understand your stage? What do you do once you have reached this decision?
This energetic, interactive discussion will include:
• The Diversity Continuum™: How to gauge your organization’s place on the continuum
• The process of developing a strategic diversity plan
• Key programs and actions against each stage in the continuum Leaders: Claude Balthazard, Director, HR Excellence, Human Resources Professionals Association of Ontario. Michael Bach, Director, Diversity, KPMG. Lisa Mattam, The Mattam Group |

This session will provide you with insight on how to re-examine your organization’s retention strategy, recognize culture and engagement opportunities, and equip you with the tools needed to execute a ‘Best in Class’ retention strategy in a diverse and competitive workplace. In other words, show you how to truly capitalize on ‘the diamonds in your own backyard.’
