Design has the ability to shape the way people interact with the world. So it’s important that the teams shaping those interactions are inclusive or we risk leaving people behind. The business case for diversity and inclusion tells us that diverse teams are more likely to outperform teams that lack diversity.
So how do we as designers and creative hiring managers interested in diversity and inclusion put our interest to work? How can we get our colleagues excited about diversity and inclusion? How can we build design teams that are reflective of our diverse community? How do we find and attract diverse talent? These are a few of the questions that we’ll answer during AIGA Boston’s first Design for Hire event!
Join us for an interactive talk with Julianna Akuamoah, SVP of Human Resources at Arnold Worldwide. We'll discuss how we can leverage diversity and inclusion to build creative teams. There will be an audience-led Q&A at the end.
This event is a part of Design for Hire, an AIGA Boston event series focused on providing designers and creative hiring professionals with the education, resources, and network needed to incorporate diversity and inclusion practices into their workplaces.
Light refreshments will be provided.
