Webinar Summary
In an industry with deep connections to hospitality, it’s no surprise that many breweries express a desire to provide a “welcoming workplace.” But what does that really mean in terms of day-to-day operation? Whose responsibility is it? And how can we set and achieve measurable goals?
Join Ren Navarro as she discusses strategies to build and maintain a supportive, productive, and welcoming work environment for managers, employees, and potential new hires. She will also explain how a company culture built on a strong DEI/JEDI foundation will also create a safer environment, eliminating precursors to violence and harassment in the workplace.
By attending this webinar, participants will:
- Gain a refreshed perspective on building a safe and inclusive workplace
- Have the tools needed to build an action plan for creating and maintaining a welcoming environment
