As companies and individuals start or continue their DEI journey, this program’s goals are to help amplify businesses and people doing meaningful work for others. The purpose is to to learn from and to also elevate those who have created inclusive work environments through their workforce, supplier diversity and other programs, and employee development initiatives.
The inaugural Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) Workplace Excellence Awards is a community-fueled event. We want to recognize our companies who exemplify an inclusive work environment through their workforce, programs, and employee development initiatives.
This event will not only celebrate businesses who champion DEI, but it will also inspire others to expand their own initiatives. This is all about action and impact.
Several award categories are presented, and workplaces are highly encouraged to apply. From hiring practices to supplier diversity programs, how is your company paving the way for others to follow?
One way we will further the impact of these awards is in the form of a local donation. A portion of the sponsorship proceeds will be donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Iowa to support their mission of creating one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth.
There are two ways to complete the nomination form. Deadline to submit: July 30, 2021.
