What is the Workplace Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Award and why is it offered?

  • To recognize organizations and/or companies who foster an inclusive work environment in which all employees are inspired to contribute their best through their different perspectives, backgrounds and experiences. 

  • Two award recipients will be chosen based upon organization size. 

  • The winners will be selected based on commitment to supporting DEI in their organizations, building a diverse workforce and supporting DEI in their local communities. 

  • The awards will be presented at the April 10, 2024 Green Bay SHRM meeting.  

  • We are also going to share ideas generated through these applications with other SHRM – Green Bay members to help them further DEI at their organizations!
