“Beyond the obvious excitement of building a new product or service from scratch, startup founders have another incredible opportunity: to define and create a new company culture from the ground up” (Alice Sandelson 2021).
In this talk Dr. Anne Graefer shares knowledge, insight, and best-practice for founders to build diverse and inclusive businesses.
Among others, she treats the following focal points:
- Understand why diversity and inclusion is important to your startup
- How to make your startup more inclusive at any stage
- What training and development bring to the table
- These and other exciting points I will cover in this issue.
Dr. Anne Graefer is the founder of GenderIQ, a Diversity and Inclusion consultancy based in Munich, Germany. Her research on stereotypes and prejudices has been published in a number of esteemed academic journals and two books. Currently she teaches Business Ethics and Media Studies at the University of Applied Sciences in Munich (FOM).
