Workshops & Presentations

This is the core workshop, intended for a broad audience including people managers, HR and culture leaders, and senior executives. Attendees will learn what meritocracy really means, why it is crucial to measure both merit and inclusion, and how this all impacts profitability and employee satisfaction. We will also discuss why the current polarization between meritocracy and DEI is misplaced, and how to engage stakeholders across the spectrum.

Why You Should Attend
Learn to connect talent management to financial success so that you can turn meritocracy from a compelling aspiration to a competitive advantage.

Bulding on the first workshop, this workshop explains why measuring workplace experiences—rather than identity traits—provides powerful qualitative and quantitative data to help you increase employee satisfaction and profitability. Through simulations, case studies, and sample data, participants will see how low levels of inclusion create hidden financial losses and reduce engagement. The workshop includes an interactive activity showing exactly how to measure inclusion.

Why You Should Attend
Receive guidance on how to measure inclusion in your organization. Gain the awareness and clarity needed to drive meaningful change while avoiding polarization and backlash.

Building on the first workshop, this workshop dives into the definition of “merit” and how it can be measured. We introduce a simple framework to explore the impact of policies, resources, processes, and practices on merit, and how this in turn impacts profitability and employee satisfaction. We also explain why focusing on individual biases is a mistake, and introduce a simple, guilt-free process to identify and mitigate Organizational Biases.

Why You Should Attend
Learn how to collect a new kind of data that gives you much clearer insights on the level of meritocracy of your organization and how and why to improve it.

This workshop builds on the general concepts from the first workshop. Attendees will learn why satisfaction is the universal currency that links “human assets” to financial outcomes. They will learn how to manage “human assets” in a way very similar to how they manage financial assets, and how this can be easily scaled to the entire organization, while creating accountability that matches responsibility at every level.

Why You Should Attend
Whether you manage talent or finance, discover how to link two core functions that are typically disconnected, and how this reduces friction while increasing performance.
