Session: Diversity, Empathy & Balance: Fostering Inclusivity in a Modern Workplace
o Judy will discuss her passion of using her executive position to build inclusive workplaces founded upon empathy, inclusion and inspired creativity. Judy believes that a successful workplace environment is built upon inclusion in which all employees have a voice, feel valued and are inspired to create and innovate openly. Judy would like the audience to walk away knowing more about navigating non-inclusive workplaces in the technology sector, and how they have the power to take an active role in making their workplaces more inclusive. She wants listeners to understand the tangible results that prove that creating a more inclusive and balanced workplace ultimately leads to a more successful environment. Attendees will walk away from her lecture with a refreshed perspective on how to approach workplace hiring techniques and practices with the understanding that opening an environment inclusive to all drives innovation but also creates a room for all to grow personally and professionally.
