How to Prioritize DEI Efforts with Stephanie Murphy, Ph.D.

As employers look to the future, creating a workplace where employees feel heard, where they feel that their voice matters, and where they feel a sense of belonging is vital for the future success of any business.  

Employee engagement is an excellent barometer of organizational health. The companies that get employee engagement right can enjoy a competitive advantage that's hard for others to replicate. 

With this in mind, the All Access: Employee Engagement and Experience 2023 online event, produced by IQPC's HR Network Exchange, will focus on such issues as:

• Is employee engagement on the downturn and, if so, where are we going wrong?
• Prioritizing diversity, equality and inclusivity in your employee engagement strategy
• How do you evolve your business to embrace a culture change of digitization?
• Placing wellbeing first and preventing burnout in a hybrid environment

The event includes a panel called Prioritizing diversity, equality and inclusivity in your employee engagement strategy and features Heather Laychak - Vice President & Chief People Officer of People Operations, The Aerospace Corporation, and today's guest, Dr Stephanie Murphy - former Head of People Insights & Assessments at Dell Technologies and current Adjuct Professor at the University of Texas at Austin.

Stephanie is passionate about people analytics. What Stephanie appreciates about the numbers, she says, is how Human Resources leaders can connect them to human stories.

Questions For Stephanie Include: 

• In terms of raising the DEI bar at Dell, what are you most proud of from your time there?
• You serve on several boards and committees including the HR Exchange Network, the IT Survey Group, and the Society of I-O Psychology. Why get involved with these groups and how are they helping to push the needle in the world of work?

• What are typical challenges HR leaders face when it comes to getting leadership buy-in to prioritize DEI in their employee engagement strategies?
