Welcome to this event-focused special edition of the HRchat show.
INCLUSION 2022 is in full swing in San Diego, CA. Happening Oct 24-26, the conference offers a chance to change the way attendees see the world, and to create a more equitable world of work.
Over the three days, attendees receive tools to sharpen DE&I skills, hear insights from experts in the field of inclusion, and build relationships with like-minded HR professionals who understand the importance of belonging and the critical role it plays in DE&I.
Workzinga is a job search and hiring platform emphasizing company culture fit with a presence at SHRM's INCLUSION 2022. The company's science team member and I/O Psychologist, Dejannae Lang, will be representing the brand and connecting with other DE&I strategists and culture changers. And she returns to the pod today, live from the conference, to tell us all about it!
