Providing Equitable Experiences at Work with Erica Spitale

I have always been fascinated by the human psyche, especially at work. Have you ever noticed that people might behave differently in the workplace than they do in other environments? It’s called “code switching” and it’s something that two I/O Psych enthusiasts like Erica and I love to explore. Erica is a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in the field for over 10 years. Her mantra is to remove obstacles and simplify processes to build scalable people practices that center the human experience and provide equitable opportunities for everyone to thrive. In this episode we go deep on diversity, inclusion, and belonging, and how it is more than just issues to solve through the DEI efforts of an HR department. It is a deep systemic problem that requires lasting change in the way we treat others at work. You’ll see our passions come alive in this episode as two Chicago natives are working towards a better work environment for the under-represented. It’s these and the many other conversations we have on this podcast that keep me fired up for the work that we are doing. Let’s keep driving for more diverse and inclusive workforces.
