DEI Workshop - Inclusive Leadership

Free to Grow in Forestry is hosting a FREE educational virtual workshop on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion - Inclusive Leadership!

Cet événement sera présenté en anglais.

Interested to learn about the Free to Grow in Forestry initiative? Want to know how you can join the many companies and organizations in the forest sector that have taken the pledge to make a change to their workplace culture on diversity and inclusion?

Whether you are in Canada, the USA, or elsewhere, you are welcome to come and listen to what we are doing to make a difference in the forest sector on this important topic.

Join us for this FREE online workshop as we hear from leaders discussing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the forest sector. This inclusive leadership webinar will provide practical tools on how you can make a difference to your workplace culture. Guest speakers will:

  • Walk you through what inclusive leadership is and how to create a culture of empowerment, accountability and belonging;

  • Explain how companies can attract qualified immigrants and how to reduce "red tape" with hiring;

  • Share different perspectives on inclusive leadership through a panel discussion; and

  • Explain what the Free to Grow in Forestry Movement is and how you can help move #ForestryForward.

What makes Free to Grow in Forestry unique? We empower decision makers by explaining the benefits to them and engage them on how to be an inclusive leader and an effective ally, provide practical tools on how to overcome resistance, and explain how that adds value to the bottom line.
