In today's labor market, a focus on diversity and inclusion (D&I) is increasingly important for both businesses and workers alike – and the landscape is changing fast. To help make sense of the rapidly changing corporate world, Randstad USA is bringing together major corporate executives and leaders for its second annual "Flourishing Under Fire" symposium for a meaningful discussion on how to help underrepresented groups thrive in corporate settings.

The event, which will take place from May 24 to May 26, will center on women, people impacted by the justice system, and the LGBTQ+ community. A robust agenda prioritizes conversations about the challenges facing these groups—including impact on health, happiness, and productivity—as well as best practices for advancing their participation in the workforce.

"As the economy continues to rebound, it's imperative that all Americans are able to benefit from the unprecedented opportunity of this era," said Keith Brown, Director, Community Impact, Randstad North America. "Businesses must persist in efforts to improve racial equity within their organizations and look to how they can expand their efforts. With our second Flourishing Under Fire: courageous conversations around diversity and inclusion in the workplace symposium, we hope to encourage businesses to elevate opportunities for career growth for individuals whose identities have historically made this difficult."

The symposium will feature a different area of focus on each day: women in the workforce on day one, second chances for people impacted by the justice system on day two, and LGBTQ+ communities on the final day.
