Ep120 - Understanding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Workplace

In this conversation, Trier Bryant and Tom discuss the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace. Trier explains the difference between these three aspects and how they contribute to workplace culture. Using practical examples, she emphasises respect for DEI as a discipline, similar to revenue generation or marketing, and suggests starting with small, manageable goals rather than attempting to overhaul an entire organisation. Trier also addresses the issue of tokenism and authenticity in DEI efforts, and shares her thoughts on how the future of work may look from a DEI perspective.About TrierTrier Bryant is a people-first leadership & inclusion expert and the founder of TrierBryant.com, a consulting firm that advises organisations on strategies and tactics to improve their workplace culture.
