23 Aug Building an Inclusive Culture for Creative Businesses (Seminar)

One of the program streams at Interior Design Show Toronto in 2019 is Talent and Diversity. Innovia will present Building an Inclusive Culture for Creative Practices at the January conference. Basima Roshan and Russell Pollard will deliver this seminar.

“Design professionals—and the entire creative industry—strive to envision, enable and create inclusive workplaces and communities. However, are we able to successfully nurture leadership and mentorship programs that lift all boats in our organizations, ensuring a diverse and competitive work culture? How can today’s design practice attract the best people? And do our design projects contribute to or hinder the development of a diverse, multicultural nation? This topic relates to both the workplaces that designers create for themselves, in addition to the spaces we enable for everybody.” (Interior Design Show)
