Perspectives S36 / Ep23 Creating a Work Culture where Diverse Talent will Thrive

A Pew Research study shows that most (56%) support DEI efforts in the workplace. However, employers’ main concern remains performance, but what they fail to realize is employee performance is synonymous with confidence at work. For many people of color, they do not always have self-assurance on the job because they are fighting to be included, their ideas to be valued and to have a voice. Career Consultant Velera Wilson, who is the Founder of Positive Identity of Atlanta, says, “It’s really important that employers find ways to create a work culture that allows workers to truly thrive so they can all be high performers regardless of their background.” Wilson, the author of the award-winning book “You’re Absolutely Worth It: Release Self-Doubt, Embrace Confidence, and Own Your Yes,” joins Perspectives to discuss 5 Ways to Create A Work Culture for Diverse Talent to Thrive.
