Diversity & Inclusion in the Workplace
from Friends with Employee Benefits · host OneDigital CT
In light of recent national events that have brought stark racial inequalities to the forefront of the conversation, organizations everywhere are navigating and facilitating unfamiliar discussions between leadership, employees and customers. How an organization chooses to handle this situation will have a direct impact on the workforce and define organizational culture as a whole. To bring light to this conversation, we were fortunate enough to have Simone Morris, CEO of Simone Morris Enterprise LLC, join us on the podcast to discuss diversity and inclusion in the workplace. She brings her wealth of knowledge from her career as an award-winning diversity and inclusion leader, to discuss with Jeff what types of conversations need to be had, who should be leading the charge on those discussions, and what organizations can do to best demonstrate their support for diversity and inclusion. The second-half of the episode covers the power behind a D&I strategy and how HR can help influence a more inclusive culture. A must-listen-to episode.
