Next week, the United Nations (UN)-hosted Summit of the Future convenes in New York — a four-day event that will see global leaders and stakeholders create a new Pact of the Future, meant to update sustainability commitments according to worldwide developments and conditions.
The scope of the summit is far-reaching, but will have effects in workplaces close to home, by advancing discussions around DEI, financial and economic wellness, and youth involvement in leadership.
“We often hear the question ‘Will we continue to focus on equity and inclusion in our workplaces?’ In a way, that has always been influenced by whether or not the broader society cares about this,” says Elysca Fernandes, director of human resources research at McLean & Company.
