Description

Social awakening and nationwide protests put a spotlight on our country’s racial disparities and demanded that employers take a bigger role — and many benefits and HR leaders have responded. What positive changes have occurred and what can still be done? An expert panel will dive into how racial disparity impacts people’s experiences with their health and retirement planning and what employers can do to help. They'll share tangible actions you can take to address disparities in your benefits offerings and ideas to make the case to your organization’s leadership to drive positive change.
