How to have " crucial/courageous conversations in the work place"

Loading player...
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the corporate world has long been thought of as just another group of buzzwords, with nearly 51% of white c-suite executives believing that it distracts from a company’s “real” work. This prevailing apathy has led some organizations to do little more than give lip service to the idea, along with checkboxes for tokenistic “diverse” hires.

For many, it’s difficult to even begin the conversation around the systemic inequalities that exist in the workplace, let alone create real, lasting changes that truly work to level the playing field for people with marginalized identities. But, with recent events shining a bright light on these issues, and the “Great Resignation” putting pressure on headcounts, it’s never been more important to address DEI in the workplace. And it starts with courageous conversations.
