Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Justice


Welcome to our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) Webpage – a digital platform dedicated to promoting understanding, equity, and social justice within our organization and beyond.

The purpose of this page is to serve as a central hub for HR Professionals seeking to deepen their understanding, commitment, and engagement with diversity, equity, and inclusion for their organizations. Through curated resources, tools, and insights, we aim to facilitate meaningful dialogue, promote learning, and inspire action towards creating equitable and inclusive environments where everyone can thrive. Our goal is to empower individuals and organizations to actively contribute to building a more just and equitable workplace.

Together Forward at Work

Equity begins with Empathy

And empathy begins with a conversation. In an effort to assist with those conversations, SHRM launched Together Forward @Work, an initiative designed to initiate open dialogue about racial inequity in the workplace. Now we’re taking the next step by providing tangible tools to construct equitable hiring practices and empathetic cultures—which is fundamental to the development of truly inclusive workplaces. Which is exactly what we need. Now more than ever.

SHRM INCLUSION 2024

There’s a reason why the SHRM INCLUSION Conference has sold out the last two years. The HR industry has recognized it as a catalyst that brings together an incredibly diverse group of attendees, speakers, thought leaders and solutions providers who all have the same goal:

To protect, prioritize and (em)power the workforce to create better workplaces where all employees act with civility, are made to feel as if they belong and have opportunities to thrive.

Join us for INCLUSION 2024 as we press on in our journey… together.
