A conversation with ‘Business Doing Good’ authors on how at-risk women can overcome hardship to survive and thrive

In this VISION by Protiviti podcast, Protiviti’s Amber Acosta, a Manager on the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion team, speaks with Dr. Shannon Deer, interim associate dean for undergraduate programs at Texas A&M’s Mays Business School, and Cheryl Miller, founder of Quantum Consulting and Training, which helps women who have experienced hardships find meaningful business careers. Deer, whose work focuses on corporate social responsibility and the intersection of business and social challenges, and Miller are co-authors of Business Doing Good: Engaging Women and Elevating Communities, which outlines six principles business leaders can implement to effectively hire women who have experienced serious hardships--incarceration, poverty, homelessness, addiction, violence, or engagement in the sex trade--to positively impact lives, businesses and communities.You can visit Shannon’s LinkedIn page here: www.linkedin.com/in/shannon-deer/.You can visit Cheryl’s LinkedIn page here: www.linkedin.com/in/cheryl-miller-80a27036/.You can visit Amber’s LinkedIn page here: www.linkedin.com/in/jamberacosta/.To see more content on the Future of ESG and other megatrends, please visit VISION by Protiviti at vision.protiviti.com and subscribe.
