Retaining and advancing emerging professionals continues to be a challenge in the accounting and finance profession. To help your firm continue to grow and be sustainable, explore this opportunity to provide your team with development that incorporates the perspectives of professionals with diverse lived experiences and a commitment to building an inclusive accounting and finance profession.
Research shows that employees want to feel they belong, are included and are valued. They want a workplace where they are engaged and empowered to grow and lead. While creating a culture of inclusion can take many forms, research shows it often starts by having the opportunity to see and learn from people and role models who have similar experiences, share a sense of community, and are successfully achieving similar goals.
Sessions include:
- Mental health
- Self-awareness
- Intentional & Inclusive Leadership
- Maximizing your CPA license
- Leveraging opportunities through volunteering
- Seeking and receiving performance feedback
- Effective mentoring, coaching and sponsorship relationships
- Dynamic keynote sessions from AICPA leaders and members
Participants may receive up to 12 Personnel/Human Resources and Behavioral Ethics CPE credits for participating in these sessions.
Why make the investment?
The program is designed to help with retention! Most organizations invest in providing technical skill training to staff. This training focuses on necessary skills for personal growth that our We're About Success participants say are missing from trainings they typically attend. Providing them this benefit demonstrates that you value their growth and development at your organization.
A 2023 Inside Public Accounting article speaks to the importance of supporting emerging professionals with different backgrounds and cultures. The article refers to the study by the Illinois CPA Society and the CPA Endowment Fund of Illinois, which outlines the three key takeaways that emerging professionals may identify as challenges:
- They see the profession's lack of diversity of thought as a barrier.
- They feel handicapped by their backgrounds.
- They believe they’re receiving inadequate feedback and development.
Who Should Attend
Emerging professionals (two to five years in the profession) in accounting or finance with diverse lived experiences who have not previously attended the event.
