From Intent to Impact: Embedding EDI in Every Corner of HR

Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy - EDI Discussion Series

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) are essential to building workplaces where people feel supported, valued, and empowered to succeed. This session explores how EDI principles can be thoughtfully woven into every stage of the HR process—from recruitment and onboarding to professional development and leadership. Grounded in research and enriched by real-world examples, the talk will highlight how inclusive HR practices can help organizations better respond to workforce needs, attract a wider range of talent, and foster long-term success. The discussion will also provide research and examples of EDI specifically for persons experiencing disabilities. Participants will leave with practical strategies to strengthen their approach to EDI and support more inclusive, resilient teams.
