Conflict is inevitable in DEI work, but it doesn’t have to be destructive. Learn how to navigate workplace tensions, build trust, and turn disagreements into opportunities for growth.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are not just American concepts—they have evolved globally, shaped by unique histories, policies, and cultural movements. From South Africa’s post-apartheid equity policies to Japan’s gender inclusion efforts and the European Union’s anti-discrimination laws, DEI takes many forms around the world. But as DEI gains traction, it also faces resistance in some regions. What can we learn from global approaches to workplace diversity and inclusion?

If we’re fighting for DEI but only fighting—without learning how to reach those outside the pro-DEI 'choir'—what are we truly accomplishing? It’s time to move beyond conflict and focus on connection, understanding, and cultural transformation.

Find out why diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are critical for business success, driving innovation, enhancing employee engagement, expanding market reach, and positioning companies for sustainable growth.
