Inclusivity is a global imperative, especially in a business landscape marked by digital, linguistic, and cultural divides.

The swift and extraordinary shifts induced by Covid-19 have hastened the move towards remote working, compelling almost entire companies to transition to a virtual environment. This sudden change has left both managers and employees striving to adapt. In her talk, Neeley will guide organizations on how to effectively lead in a virtual space, keep their teams engaged, select appropriate digital tools, and sustain employee productivity.
For almost thirty years, English has served as the primary language for international organizations. Yet, these global enterprises often grapple with challenges stemming from language and cultural differences. What are the most effective strategies for guiding teams in such linguistically and culturally varied environments to ensure their success? In her presentation, Neeley discusses ways in which organizations can adeptly incorporate language and communication strategies to position their teams for triumph.
Diverse organizations often lead in innovation. However, the advantages of diversity don't always extend to employee inclusivity, especially in leadership roles. In this facilitated discussion, Neeley explores strategies that companies can adopt to foster cultural transformation, ensuring success and prosperity for all employees.
