You’ve heard it before, but it’s true: whether staff or volunteers, people are your organization’s most valuable asset. That’s why policies that guide the management of people are critical – and also an important area where an organization can practice equity. Big Change Consulting’s Jodi Segal shines a light on equity in workplace policies, which can make all the difference to the people who carry out your mission.

What you can expect from this session
• Learn how your handbook acts as an important building block to creating equity in a multitude of areas – from operations, power dynamics and decision making, performance, conflict resolution, and more
• You will be given a framework and practical suggestions to make employee policies more equitable - whether your organization is drafting its first policies or updating an existing handbook
• Registrant organizations will have the opportunity to participate in a pre-workshop assessment to help get started
