With the Great Resignation of 2021 companies struggled to retain talent. And some companies more specifically recognized their inability to retain diverse talent. Noting that diversity is a major factor to innovation, many companies are in search of a way to attract and retain diverse talent on their teams. But how can they make that happen? If you are a company seeking to retain diverse talent, or you are a person of color struggling to grow at your current employer, this episode is one you can not miss. The guest on today’s podcast, Minda Harts, shares her personal experiences with racial microaggressions in the workplace and how they pushed her to the point of feeling like there wasn’t a place for her at work.
This adversity led her to become a thought leader in diversity and become a workplace and equity consultant. Minda explains the important difference between equity and equality, how mentorship adds value for both the mentor and the mentee, and how companies can create a more supportive environment for people of color. If you are ready to increase your awareness and understanding of issues that prevent equitable work environments, listen to this episode. You’ll walk away with actionable steps on what you can do to improve your allyship to people of color, or if you are a person of color, you’ll gain advice on how to deal with uncomfortable workplace situations.
