DEIB / ERG Roundtable 

Addressing Immigration Bias in the Workplace: Employee Resource Group (ERG) Roundtable

October 5th, 9am - 10am (PT) | 10am - 11am (MT) | 12pm - 1pm (ET) 

This roundtable is open to all TAP Network members and provides space for safe (and brave) conversations on issues of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB).

This session will focus on immigration bias and its impact on workplace inclusion, career advancement, and employee well-being. Participants will explore how assumptions related to immigration status, nationality, accent, language proficiency, cultural background, and international work experience can influence hiring, development opportunities, team dynamics, and belonging. The discussion will also examine the intersection of immigration experiences with other equity-deserving identities, including race, ethnicity, gender, disability, and religion, and highlight practices that foster equitable and inclusive workplaces for newcomers and immigrant employees.

This year’s roundtables support two objectives:

• To share learnings on DEIB strategy and implementation within the tech industry.
• To serve as a topical discussion space for members belonging to or advocating for equity-seeking and equity-deserving groups.

 

Benefits of Participation

• Exchange learnings and hear from organizations advancing inclusive practices for immigrant and newcomer talent.
• Engage in confidential discussions on immigration bias, barriers to career progression, credential recognition, and workplace belonging.
• Gain exposure to new ideas, lived experiences, and expert insights on creating equitable opportunities for employees from diverse immigration backgrounds.

We look forward to seeing you there!
