Diversity & Inclusion: How Leaders Can Take A Proactive Approach
Episode 11
Diversity and inclusion is a conversation we need to have and acknowledge the gap that exists. We have seen more and more companies making efforts to educate, create diversity task forces, and implement new policies that have been lacking for so long. How can leaders take a proactive approach in ensuring they are creating diverse and inclusive workplaces? Join us as we sit down with Erin Davis; Director of Corporate Engagement at Catalyst, a global non-profit and Dr. Ivan Joseph; keynote speaker, author and educator to further explore this topic.
