Jennifer Tardy Consulting Announces the 2024 Increase Diversity™ Summit: “How Do I Say It?”

No one is immune from saying the "wrong thing." However, this fear prohibits us from having conversations that drive forward true change in our workplaces.

BOWIE, MARYLAND, UNITED STATES, June 11, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Following the resounding success of last year's inaugural Increase Diversity™ Summit, “Who is Qualified?” Jennifer Tardy Consulting is thrilled to announce the 2nd Increase Diversity™ Virtual Summit. This year's theme, "How Do I Say It?" focuses on effective language for inclusive recruitment and retention strategies. The virtual Summit will take place on October 16 & 17, 2024, from 11:00 AM to 2:15 PM EST each day.

Why The Increase Diversity™ Summit
The language we choose plays a pivotal role—it can either create inclusive environments where everyone feels seen and heard or unintentionally exclude and alienate. Leaders, recruiters, hiring managers, and interview teams often hesitate, not because they lack commitment to diversity but because they fear misspeaking or inadvertently causing harm. Recognizing and overcoming these fears are essential steps forward. This conference stands out as one of the few dedicated to this critical topic.

The Increase Diversity™ Summit presentations and interactive break-out sessions will address Gender: Binary and Non-Binary, Disability, Veterans, Neurodiversity, and Sexual Orientation. There will be two live panel discussions with Q&A, The Language of Race (Anti-Racism + Inclusion) and The Language of Intersectionality.

Who Should Attend?
The Increase Diversity™ Summit is especially beneficial for anyone who directly hires or influences hiring, including workplace leaders and executives, DEI practitioners, recruiters (corporate and agency), human resources teams, managers, hiring leaders, and career coaches. However, the topic transcends recruiting, providing valuable insights for anyone looking to feel more confident in their inclusive language and communication in the workplace.
