Join Canadian and International Peers in Toronto at Inside Out: A Transformative Approach to Community Investment, November 2-3, 2017
TORONTO, October 4, 2017 /3BL Media/ - Join Canadian and International peers in Toronto, Canada at Inside Out: A Transformative Approach to Community Investment. Inside Out is a future-looking conference designed to advance the practice of how companies invest in community.
Diversity and inclusion, employee wellness and employee engagement are increasingly recognized as business priorities. Companies create business value when they address these strategically and effectively. Community investment is becoming recognized as a tool to address these important issues.
Inside Out is designed for practitioners seeking to engage with colleagues, sharing real-world examples of how companies are beginning to position community investment as an effective approach to creating value by prioritizing diversity, inclusion and employee wellness, and to deepen employee engagement.
"Inside Out has been designed for companies seeking to impact communities. We will explore how looking inside uncovers a tremendous resource able to impact community in meaningful ways," says Stephanie Robertson, CEO & Founder of SiMPACT Strategy Group and Facilitator of London Benchmarking Group (LBG) Canada. "Leveraging employees in a meaningful and strategic way will address business priorities that include enriching corporate culture through diversity, increasing employee wellness and employee engagement. This approach then encourages companies to look outside the organization, for opportunities to have greater community impact. In this way, community investment can create tangible and significant ROI."
Looking Inside Out raises a fundamental question, 'if diversity and inclusion is a corporate priority, what is holding us back?' to Amy Hanen, Assistant Vice President, Diversity & Inclusion at TD Bank Group, and Helen Kennedy, Executive Director of Egale Canada.
Community investment has a role to play in addressing vital corporate priorities. Join Canadian and international peers to turn your thinking Inside Out.
