This premier event is an exciting, information-packed conference hosted by
NOARK Human Resources, Inc., for Human Resource Professionals, CEOs,
Managers and anyone interested in leveraging the demographic changes and
population shifts in Northwest Arkansas to improve and maintain their
competitive advantage through diversity and inclusion.
As product and service markets continue to grow both domestically and
internationally, few companies can expect to gain access to this
kaleidoscope of customers without recruiting and retaining a staff,
management and executives who reflect the diversity of the marketplace.
Creating an environment where all employees feel included and valued yields
greater creativity, commitment and motivation, and can be the catalyst for a
better return on your investment in human resources.
The goal of this conference is to increase awareness of and introduce
practical applications and practices of diversity and inclusion that
employers can implement toward creating a more inclusive workplace and
community.
The program is designed to provide participants with answers to the
following questions:
* How can diversity positively impact a company's bottom line?
* Does my company need a diversity plan?
* Does my company understand the value of embracing newcomers?
* What are the steps needed to implement change?
* How do employers recruit and retain a diverse workforce?
* What is the legal case for diversity?
