Grainger and Mary Ann Downey, Principal at HR Metrics Coach, will provide a framework on how to think about inclusion and diversity, and how they fit together.

They will share real examples on how different organizations define inclusion and diversity and provide global context on how inclusion and diversity are perceived outside of the U.S. They will also share techniques they have used to get past the barriers of understanding inclusion vs. diversity.
