Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) are hot topics in the industry, however it can be difficult to distill all the information related to EDI down to actionable steps that can be carried forward into the work environment. This session focuses on providing practical guidance to employees and organizations within the Geoscience realm. First, we summarize the responses to the D&I Committee survey issued by the PGO to all of its registrants in 2021. Then we introduce the PGO’s Professional Practice Guidance document that outline how EDI issues relate to the PGO mandate, explain fundamental concepts in EDI, and include descriptions and discussions of various diversity considerations. Finally the session closes with a panel discussion that dives deeper into the practical steps professionals and organizations can take back into their work environment.
