Speaking Engagements*

  • “Culture Matters: Inclusion Drives Innovation”: One hour, virtual or in-person

    • Big Picture

      Nearly 70% of top tech talent turns over every 1-2 years, costing a company as much as 2x the employee’s salary in losses. Retention is crucial for any organization’s long term success and focus on culture is a sure way to improve employee’s productivity and tenure on the job.

      The best employees today have many options. For younger job seekers, focus on culture and inclusivity initiatives isn’t a preference; this focus is a requirement. 


      Why This Matters

      Diverse and inclusive teams generate more revenue and higher profits, with higher retention rates of top talent.
