New York City

Join OfColor on September 12 for the second hosting of our Disruptive Discourse event series, which was born out of the simple idea that all employees should benefit from Benefits. This year’s theme, “Advancing Workplace Equity in the Face of Uncertainty,” will examine efforts to drive positive economic outcomes for employees of color during times of economic uncertainty. Our forum will feature engaging conversations designed to bring this theme to life, each anchored around the workplace, public policy, and community.
