Dive Deep into DEI and TA/TM Topics – Join a Knowledge Center
Last month, the Association’s Knowledge Centers hosted two insightful Roundtables, providing members with valuable discussions on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and Talent Acquisition/Talent Management (TA/TM). The DEI Knowledge Center Roundtable (April 4) delved into the evolution of DEI initiatives, featuring a presentation on transitioning DEI from an HR function to a standalone division. Judy Huie, VP – DEI Business Officer at Freddie Mac, shared her organization’s journey, sparking a lively discussion among attendees.
Continuing the momentum, the TA/TM Knowledge Center Roundtable (April 17) explored the transformative role of AI in talent acquisition. Co-Chairs Cherice Schmidt, EVP, Client Services at Cielo and Scott Sell, Chief Talent Acquisition Officer at Mercy, delivered a comprehensive presentation, highlighting AI’s impact on bias and providing real-world examples.
Knowledge Center membership offers exclusive access to Roundtable recordings, allowing members to stay abreast of industry insights. Additionally, joining these communities connects members with peers sharing similar interests and experiences, all at no cost—a value-added benefit.
