NEW YORK, Jan. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, almost 250 Chief Human Resources Officers and Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officers from CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ (CEO Action) signatory companies convened for a summit to learn, listen, and support CEO efforts to lead with action-oriented steps and drive diversity and inclusion commitments. The summit was hosted by global biopharmaceutical company, Merck & Co., Inc.

"This business community is united in our dedication to further weaving diversity and inclusion into the fabric of our companies," said Mirian Graddick-Weir, Executive Vice President, Global Human Resources, Merck & Co., Inc. "At this summit, participants are working together to find ways to recognize and overcome unconscious biases, create trusting environments where difficult conversations can take place, and share the stories of successes and lessons learned – with the purpose of bringing better results for our talent and our businesses."

Building off of the CEO Action November 10th CEO-Closed Door Session, the summit allowed for deeper conversations and understanding of issues beyond the CEO and into the C-suite. By prioritizing inclusivity, accountability and creating opportunities for collaboration, senior leaders met to focus on collectively identifying and strengthening strategies for operationalizing the CEO Action pledge commitments within their organizations to help drive cultural change and business improvements.

Attendees were also joined by a panel of CEOs, Human Resources, and Diversity and Inclusion leaders for leadership insights on demonstrating that diversity is visible throughout the organization; at the highest levels of leadership, in business strategy and with clear connectivity throughout functions and teams.

Recognizing that the world is comprised of complex tensions that can have significant impact on individuals as well as communities, CEO Action signatories are rallying together to take measurable action to change this by building productive, diverse, and inclusive workplaces where openness is the norm, not the exception.
