Join veteran journalist Richard Lui and political scientist Karthick Ramakrishnan for an insightful presentation of the Inclusion @ Work | Asian Americans risk report, a groundbreaking study providing action-based metrics for Executive Leadership, including on lawsuit likelihood, revenue risk, and retention, of AANHPI professionals —insights often missing from traditional corporate surveys. During the program, Richard and Karthick will not only present key findings but also lead a dynamic discussion on how companies can leverage these insights to enhance the workplace experience for Asian professionals. Additionally, they will explore how political headwinds may shape the future of work in this demographic.
This program is designed for executive leaders, HR professionals, organizational strategists, inclusion advocates, and Asian professionals at all levels seeking to drive meaningful change within their organizations.
***This program will begin promptly at 6:00PM through 7:00PM. Join us afterward at the Asia Society Leo Bar to continue the conversation. One free drink at Leo Bar is included with each ticket.***
