Webinar Recording: Building a Diverse Leadership Pipeline for the Future
Best Practices from Lenovo
The broad-reaching impacts of the global health pandemic and racial injustice have put a spotlight on the need for more inclusive, purposeful leaders. The reality is that organizations need leaders capable of adapting to today’s fast-changing, complex and unpredictable environment.
Also consider this: The pandemic has disproportionately impacted diverse and underrepresented populations—one in nine Black or Latina women are unemployed* and there are significant drop-off rates for women and women of color in the leadership ranks.
Investing in diverse talent has never been more critical to retaining and building the workforce of the future—and in effecting positive change on employee engagement, revenue and profit growth.
Join us for an insider’s look at how Lenovo, a Fortune 200 technology company with more than 70,000 employees globally, shifted their in-person leadership development programming designed for underrepresented populations to a digital learning journey. You’ll also learn about the key critical success factors driving retention and promotion rates, and how these efforts are supporting the company’s broader goal to increase executive-level representation of women to 27% and underrepresented populations to 35% by 2025.
