Fostering an Inclusive Culture from the Start: Tips for Emerging R&D Companies
Diversity, equity and inclusion are not just buzzwords. In the current work climate, they must be the foundation of every organization’s culture. According to Dr. Joanne Kamens, PhD and leading expert in workplace culture and management for biotechnology and pharma, it is more efficient to build a culture based on inclusivity from the start than amending it later due to lack of early attention.
That is why CCC is partnering with Dr. Kamens on 19 October 2021, 1:00-2:00pm EDT, to host the complimentary webcast: Fostering an Inclusive Culture from the Start: Tips for Emerging R&D Companies. In this session, you’ll hear from a panel of top DEI consultants including Allison V. Manswell, CPTD and Founder & Chief Results Officer of Path Forward Consulting; and Jasmine Montañez, Senior Consultant for The Impact Seat, on how you can make the most of your time and financial resources to build an inclusive company culture.
This is the next webcast in our four-part series Optimizing Culture & Information Management: Best Practices for Emerging R&D-intensive Organizations including:
Building a Culture of Success: Managing People in Today’s R&D organizations held on 15 September
Information Management Excellence: Strategies for Emerging R&D Companies to Access & Organize Content on 10 November, 1:00-2:00pm EST
