Disability:IN North Carolina 2023 Fall Conference | October 12, 2023 | “Great Leaders Create Great Cultures”
Disability:IN North Carolina’s (DI-NC) 2023 Fall Conference theme, “Great Leaders Create Great Cultures”, could not be timelier. Facing fierce competition for talent, due to the global workforce shortage, finding and keeping talent matters more than ever. Companies that leverage their unique mission, purpose and values will strengthen their identity by inspiring employees to deliver on their brand promise to customers. The key to creating a committed, engaged workforce is for leaders to build an inclusive culture where all employees (including employees with disabilities) feel meaningfully connected to the mission.
