Lecture
What is the connection between 'Queer' and the leading organizations in the Israeli economy? Why 'Otherness' is of organizational interest? And what trends does the employment of people from diverse groups in the Israeli labor market reveal?
Diversity and inclusion are great concepts that are increasingly being used, but it isn't always clear how they relate to our daily work experiences. Shany will clarify the concept of 'Diversity' through her occupational journey and describe what it's like to be a queer person who promotes diversity in one of the most central organizations in Israeli society. The lecture will show the value of diversity without minimizing the complexity it holds, offering managerial and interpersonal tools for creating an inclusive organizational environment.
Shany's story describes her private journey and how it led her to engage with and explore the issue of Diversity and Inclusion of LGBT+ in organizations in order to increase equity in the labor market.
