3. The value proposition of inclusion and a diversity
4. Dynamics between companies, vendors, and employees
5. The impact financials have on gender diversity
6. The role men have positively played in supporting and mentoring women in L&D
7. Companies that don’t focus on inclusive environments and what may happen to them
