JDN Community Diversity Partnership Networking Meetings
Regularly scheduled networking meetings provide a long-term perspective. These monthly face-to-face meeting opportunities will solidify partnerships, build on best practices and lead to much needed systemic change. Each networking meeting will feature a speaker from a business or service organization who has put into practice diversity-positive hiring processes and retention policies in their workplace.
Through the JDN Community Diversity Partnership we expect to see a more diverse population of job seekers being interviewed, hired and retained in their positions.
Through the JDN Community Diversity Partnership we will experience a community in which all human resources are recognized for their differences, and have unlimited employment opportunities. We expect to see greater:
- Inclusion: sharing power and decision-making to create diversity-positive workplaces of equals.
- Integration: transcending one’s group identification to become part of a greater whole.
- Respect: realizing that acceptance of others begins with the unconditional acceptance of ourselves.
- Transformation: embracing and integrating similarities and differences.
- Empathy: seeing through the eyes of others.
- Collaboration: working together as equal partners to create solutions that are mutually beneficial.
