Stephen Frost: The Inclusion Imperative
Tuesday, February 18, 2014, 5:30 p.m.
On February 18th, please join diversity and inclusion expert Stephen Frost for the Canadian launch of his book, The Inclusion Imperative. In an evening of conversation and cocktails, Frost, in conversation with Michael Bach, CEO of the Canadian Institute of Diversity and Inclusion, will challenge pre-conceived ideas of inclusion and diversity and strive to inspire professionals and leaders, including those who would not normally engage in a “diversity” conversation, to tackle inclusion in their organizations with courage, creativity and talent. The Inclusion Imperative constitutes the best argument to convince skeptics that real diversity and inclusion can deliver more engaged employees and customers, increase productivity and better the group-decision-making process – it is a critical leadership challenge of our time, regardless of the reader’s current beliefs around “diversity”.
