Workplace Application: Gain a clearer sense of the personal and organizational next steps that you can implement to better engage white men in your ongoing D&I efforts.

In this interactive session, we will examine Rockwell’s story of white male leader engagement. Many companies have long struggled with engaging white male leaders in D&I efforts. Rockwell started their engagement journey with the premise that without white male leadership, their D&I effort would become a compliance-based recruitment effort that would ultimately provide no real long-term cultural change. The step-by-step process is one of transforming mindsets one leader at a time. The leadership within Rockwell is fundamentally changing the way Diversity & Inclusion is being implemented and practiced inside their organization, starting with examining and shifting their own personal behaviors and actions.
