In this forward-looking keynote, Minda Harts will explore the transformative power of trust in shaping the future of work through the lens of DEI. As we navigate the complexities of modern workplaces and attacks on DEI, trust emerges not just as an organizational necessity but as the foundational element for crafting work environments that are truly equitable and inclusive. This talk will illuminate how trust underpins every facet of workplace equity, from interpersonal relationships to systemic policies, and how it is crucial for fostering psychological safety and collective achievement. This keynote promises to equip leaders and changemakers with the insights and tools needed to steer their organizations towards a future where trust is the key driver of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
