Future-Proofing Your Workforce
The welding and manufacturing industry needs to keep adapting our workforce and propelling our industry forward with talented employees. I’ll encourage the FABTECH audience to bring and keep the right people to your company by creating an inclusive environment that encourages contributions and fresh ideas and doesn’t get stuck in the past. Aiming to build a team with diverse thinking and life experiences - regardless of gender, race or age - can bring value to your business. We’ll talk about how to look out for hiring biases, lead and delegate by fairly assessing potential, and ensure all employees have a comfortable working environment to thrive in.

Candid Conversations: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion…” Are You Ready to Talk?”
In this session, the audience will participate in an interactive training that will help them think differently about Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice. We will remove misconceptions and stereotypes, and engage in thought-provoking dialog that will be the catalyst for change and acceptance of everyone in this high-octane, social-unrest environment. The audience will leave with at least 5 to 10 principles and practices they can immediately use in their personal and professional lives.
