As formal DEI infrastructure is scaled back or eliminated at many organizations, employees are left asking whether belonging was ever more than a slide in an onboarding deck. This panel examines what genuine inclusion looks like when it's no longer backed by policy, budget, or a dedicated team — and what employees can realistically expect from their workplace, and each other, going forward.
Learning objectives: Participants will be able to:
Differentiate between performative inclusion initiatives and structural, felt belonging.
Recognize warning signs that a company's inclusion commitment was surface-level.
Identify grassroots and peer-driven ways to sustain community when formal programs are cut.
Evaluate how to advocate for themselves in a workplace with reduced institutional support.
