Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: DEI Is Not a Buzz Phrase

Thursday, November 11, 2021 at 1:55 PM ET / Virtual

Free – Registration Required

The accounting and finance industries have expanded over the last five years to include more diversity in their workforce. As a result of this initiative, an increasing number of organizations now seek guidance from their employees when it comes to efforts and best practices in diversity, equity, and inclusion. It is widely known that team members with diverse backgrounds bring unique contributions and capabilities to the workplace, and these fresh perspectives are vital to companies’ success. But what exactly does it mean to help your organization value diverse voices on the job? What would this responsibility look like, and which factors should be considered before taking on this type of role at work? Join Susanne Tedrick as she walks us through these important questions and answers surrounding DEI criteria and commitments.

Women’s Breakfast: Navigating a Toxic Work Environment

Thursday, November 18, 2021 at 9:00 AM ET / Virtual

Free – Registration Required

Bullies masquerading as girbosses. Microaggressions from teammates. Managers who gaslight you when you make reasonable requests. There are countless ways in which a work environment can be toxic and all of them can take a massive toll on your mental and physical health. So how do you report these incidents? How do you find your way out of a toxic environment? And what are the steps you can take to survive until you’re able to put an exit strategy in place?

At LMHQ’s November Women’s Breakfast, we’ll be tackling all of these questions and more. You’ll hear from a panel of experts across industries who will share their lived experiences, lessons learned, and recommendations for navigating your way through a toxic workplace. You’ll walk away feeling less alone and empowered to take the first steps toward a new, healthier work environment.
