Creating an Inclusive Workplace Culture in Times of Uncertainty

Many business leaders know that diversity in the workplace can increase an organization's bottom line. Diverse teams are more creative, innovative, and higher performing. The webinar will focus on what small businesses can do to create an inclusive, diverse and equitable workplace, and how employers can benefit from creating an inclusive culture and learning new ways to achieve results, even while working remotely—to keep your business moving in the right direction.

Cybersecurity: Fundamentals to Protect Your Business and Your Employees

Small businesses are often targets of cyberattacks. Cyber criminals are organized and know how to mimic your business operations to slip in undetected to obtain valuable confidential information, steal funds or shut down operations. Learn strategies to protect your business, and your remote workers, against cyberattacks. This webinar will cover prevalent cyber tactics and growing trends (phishing, email compromise and ransomware), securing remote workers or employees, protecting home networks, and providing secure video conferencing for workforce and team meetings.

This webinar is presented by the City of Chicago Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection.
