Offer your teams this conference on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) have become essential concerns for organizations in recent years. Increasingly, it is recognized that DE&I-related issues directly impact employees’ mental health, leading to detrimental consequences for collective performance and team engagement. This reality highlights the need for a proactive approach to address these challenges. In this context, Global-Watch has designed a conference dedicated to exploring DE&I, with a particular focus on unconscious cognitive biases, which often underlie discrimination and inequality in the workplace.
Aimed at HR professionals and DE&I initiative leaders, the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion: From theory to implementation conference seeks to enlighten participants about unconscious cognitive biases and propose concrete strategies to enhance inclusion within organizations. Speakers will discuss the foundations of DE&I, analyze its impact as well as that of biases on employee well-being, and share practical approaches to create a truly inclusive work environment.
Rigorous preparation based on science:
To prepare for this conference, Global-Watch has implemented several initiatives:
- Monitoring of practices worldwide: We thoroughly analyze global trends and innovations to provide you with the most relevant insights.

- Exchanges with employers in our network of employers around the world: Your experiences and perspectives enrich our approach and guide our actions.
- Scientific references: This presentation is the result of rigorous work, based on 75 scientific references.
Why a conference on Diversity, Equity and and Inclusion?
It is now widely recognized that inclusive and diverse workplaces have a significant impact on employee satisfaction. In fact, employees working in such environments are 35% more likely to be satisfied with their jobs and 22% more likely to have good mental health.
In addition, these inclusive environments help reduce overall stress by 30%, improve employee engagement by 20%, and decrease voluntary turnover rates by 50%. In summary, with an increased perception of fairness, overall team well-being improves by 40%.
There are three main reasons for raising awareness of DE&I issues:
- Social pressure: In a world of rapidly changing values, the expectations of employees, customers, and society at large are driving organizations to adopt more inclusive practices.
- Organizational health implications: An inclusive culture promotes employee well-being, improves collaboration, and drives innovation, resulting in better performance.
- Legal requirements: More and more regulations require companies to meet equality and diversity standards. Ignoring these obligations can result in penalties and damage the organization’s reputation.
