Season 1 Wrap-up & Introducing Season 2: “Why it Really Matters”

#006 This episode marks the end of Season 1. We’ll be back with new episodes next month, but we wanted to go over what we’ve learnt this season and give you a sneak preview of what you can expect from Diversity Secrets Season 2. This first season was called “On The Job”, as we asked DEI professionals what it really means to work in DEI. Our guests shared their insights and expertise to successfully drive DEI in organizations, as well as the unique, and sometimes difficult, journeys that brought them to the work that they do today. Season 2 is called “Why It Really Matters”. We’ll ask ourselves: Why should companies even care about DEI? Through a new series of interviews with DEI professionals and leaders, we will explore the business case for DEI, as well as the social justice imperatives that push companies to act. Recent and prominent studies have reaffirmed the strong business case for diversity in corporate leadership and teams—and shown that this business case continues to strengthen. So why is the corporate world making such sluggish progress towards diverse equitable and inclusive work places despite DEI being correlated with such clear wins? We’ll hear from the researchers that have established the business case for DEI, as well as from the DEI leaders in the corporate world that are applying it to their reality. We’ll also talk to the activists and organizations raising awareness around the social imperatives to act now for DEI in the corporate world. We’ll apply theory to practice to find out what will trigger real, and sustainable change. So don’t forget to subscribe to not miss out on Season 2!If you'd like to get in touch, let's connect on LinkedIn or via e-mail : [email protected] to learn more about Diversity Secrets Agency Training & Consulting services?
