It’s been more than a year since the death of George Floyd, and business leaders have been called to action by the public in the fight against racial injustice. BAB brings together a panel of DE&I leaders to delve into eye-opening research on public trust and racial justice, which shows that since 2020, the public is investing more trust in the power of corporations over public institutions to respond to systemic racism.

 

In this conversation, panelists will explore:

 

  • How corporate boards can leverage their influence to not only shape the workforce of the future, but address pressing social issues and place diversity & inclusion at the heart of new strategies around the future of work

 

  • What are the actionable steps that business leaders can take to actively dismantle unconscious bias? How can leaders authentically gain credibility to influence and make positive, resonant impact in this area with consumers and the public?

 

“The Stir” is BritishAmerican Business’ inclusion & diversity initiative. Launched in 2011, this critical program series has grown and evolved in response to the changing needs within the transatlantic business community. In short, we are creating a stir: an open, honest conversation on how diversity & inclusion are not just good for business, but vital.

Together with our partners, BAB continues to remain vigilant in addressing this issues via a series of content-rich and community-building programs featuring the latest research, best practices, and real-world examples to make our case.
