Event Details

Have you been asked to lead an affinity group, but you are not quite sure how to do it? Have you questioned whether your organization’s affinity groups are effective? Is your organization thinking about launching or re-energizing affinity groups? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this online seminar is for you. 

 

Many companies have benefited from “affinity groups” — employee networks built around common bonds of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and other dimensions of diversity. This webinar looks at how such groups can help grow your bottom line and improve employee recruitment and retention. It also discusses best practices for creating and maintaining affinity groups, and pitfalls to avoid.

Realizing Value from Affinity Groups will be led by Larry Olmstead, president of Leading Edge Associates, and Rebecca Kuiken, staff consultant. Olmstead and Kuiken are co-authors of a 2007 special report on affinity groups, written for the National Association of Minority Media Executives. Toni Laws, executive director of NAMME, was a contributing editor for the report. She will join the webinar, as will representatives of companies that have successfully implemented affinity groups.
