About DEI: Connecting People with Purpose.  Recent studies show that enterprises that have diverse workforces are 35% more likely  to see greater financial results than industry averages, and those with diverse management teams have 19% higher revenue.  Given the complexities in today’s world, it is clear to all business leaders that substantial growth requires a strategic and integrated approach to talent and a data-driven Culture and DEI framework will positively impact people, process and enterprise financial performance.  During this interactive discussion, Nick will talk through AchieveNEXT’s Culture-Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Talent Solutions, share details about their three-step data-driven process (Assess, Analyze, Adopt) to help enterprises of all shapes and sizes hire and retain a more diverse talent pool.

  • Specific talent acquisition and retention strategies being used by companies across the region and globe.
  • Share key insights from AchieveNEXT’s 2022 Global Mid-Market CFO-CHRO Sentiment Report
