“DEI is dead! Long live DEI!”
Regardless of how you feel about the term “DEI,” one thing remains true: people want to flourish at work.
Employee engagement is struggling. Trust is low. Stress and isolation are high. And many organizations are still searching for meaningful ways to create workplaces where people feel connected, valued, and supported — without getting trapped in culture wars or corporate buzzwords.
In this thought-provoking session, Joe Gerstandt explores what comes next for DEI and how organizations can create more human-centered employee experiences for an increasingly diverse and complex workforce.
Through practical frameworks, real-world examples, and honest conversation, participants will learn how employee experience design and team identity design can improve engagement, retention, trust, and belonging in today’s workplace.
Based on 25 years of experience supporting workplace DEI efforts, Joe offers a grounded, human approach to helping organizations build cultures where people can do their best work together.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- The current state of DEI and where the work may be headed
- How employee experience design can improve engagement and retention
- Practical tools like empathy mapping and experience mapping
- The role identity plays in trust, belonging, candor, and collaboration
- How leaders can build strong team identities while protecting individuality
- Ways to improve workplace culture without fueling division or culture wars
Who should attend:
- HR Leaders
- DEI Practitioners
- People & Culture Teams
- Managers and Team Leaders
- Organizational Development Professionals
- Anyone focused on improving employee experience and workplace culture
Why this conversation matters:
Regardless of what we call the work, organizations still face the same challenge:
How do we help humans flourish together at work?
This webinar moves beyond slogans and politics to explore practical ways leaders can create workplaces built on trust, connection, identity, and shared experience.
Join us for a timely conversation about the future of employee experience, workplace culture, and what comes after traditional DEI conversations.
