Microsoft Ignite MSSUG Diversity & Inclusion in Hybrid Workplace
Details
COVID has impacted our ability to create and cultivate inclusive workspaces. Join Angie and Suzanne at a virtual Microsoft Ignite After Party on November 18, 2021, 2:00 PM 3:30 PM SGT| 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM AET| 11:30 AM– 12:30 PM IST. We’ll first hear from Lindsay-Rae McIntyre, Microsoft Chief Diversity Officer, and Binna Kandola, Pearn Kadola, about the key things to keep in mind when you lead organizations or collaborate across teams to help mitigate bias and microaggressions in the pandemic.
Then Anj and Suzanne will speak with APAC Community/Industry leaders about how their organizations deal with this shift. Is there a need to now rewrite Diversity and Inclusion in a post-pandemic era? What do we need to do to make D&I the new norm in these times?
