The Directors Council’s next program in its Conversations in Color series is this afternoon, featuring Johnny C. Taylor Jr., a Drake law school graduate and president and CEO of the Society for Human Resource Management. Today’s discussion, sponsored by ITA Group, is scheduled from 1 to 2 p.m. It’s free on Zoom, but you are asked to register. Today’s discussion will focus on the SHRM Together Forward @Work framework, which challenges people to create better workplaces by improving the cultures that fuel them, one honest conversation at a time. In a news release, Taylor said that “getting workplace diversity right is not enough. We must foster inclusive workplace cultures. This not only requires thoughtful discussion, but deliberate action to break through barriers that stand in the way.”
