Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Aging Services

It is a simple fact that our workforce and the people we serve are becoming more diverse. Research has demonstrated that organizations that embrace a diverse workforce do better financially, recruiting and retaining top talent, score higher in staff satisfaction, and provide better customer service. Diverse team members also offer varied perspectives that can increase creativity and improve decision-making in your organization.

These tools will help you begin your Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) journey.
