In today’s business world, navigating through corporate politics is more challenging than ever. Multigenerational workforces, cultural differences amongst employees and lack of diversity in executive leadership are just a few of the many challenges that present roadblocks for minorities seeking to climb the corporate ladder. All too often, the rightperson is passed up for a promotion or other work-related opportunity simply because their voice is unheard; they lack a champion – a workplace advocate.
Join NAAAHR-LA as we present Making a Difference: Being an Advocate in the Workplace, a discussion between seasoned leaders on what it truly means to be a workplace advocate for another. Over the course of the discussion, attendees will learn best practices for:
- Assessing their capacity to be an advocate;
- Defining the advocate role and communicating it;
- Managing the expectations of the employee; and
- Providing timely and constructive feedback.
Panelists include:
- Tiffany Smith-Anoa’i – Executive Vice President, Diversity, Inclusion & Communications, CBS Entertainment
