ERG leaders need frameworks • HR needs retention data • Practitioners need support • Leaders need proof.
Nobody has time for theory.
The Forum on Workplace Inclusion is where you gain actionable strategies, measurable tools, and a nationwide network that turn overwhelmed practitioners into confident strategists.
You’ve Tried
Everything
You Launched ERGs
They plan events but can’t articulate strategic value when executives ask, “What’s the business impact?”
You implemented DEI initiatives.
Budget cuts happen, and your programs are first on the chopping block because you can’t demonstrate ROI in language finance understands.
You advocated for change.
And now you’re so burned out you’re questioning whether to stay in this work at all.
You rolled out inclusion training.
Leadership wants retention metrics that prove it’s working. You don’t have them.
It’s not your fault.
the challenges aren’t getting easier..
they’re accelerating!
It’s not your fault you don’t have the frameworks.
Most organizations expect you to build the plane while flying it.
It’s not your fault ERGs feel symbolic.
They were never given the strategic scaffolding to operate any other way.
It’s not your fault you can’t prove belonging drives retention.
You were handed programs, not measurement systems.
You need more than inspiration.
You need implementation.

THE FORUM ON WORKPLACE INCLUSION
We’ve watched practitioners navigate economic recessions, cultural backlash, political upheaval, and global pandemics. We’ve seen what works when budgets get cut, when leadership pushes back, when ERGs demand more, and when practitioners hit their breaking point.
That’s why Hundreds + DEI practitioners, HR leaders, organizational managers, and ERG champions return year after year. Not for feel-good speeches-for the strategies that actually work when conditions arent perfect.
