086: Values, Equity and Hiring with Meg Baker

Hiring can be intimidating. But for socially conscious business owners, it’s also one of our greatest opportunities to combat inequity and injustice in the workplace.

When she made the leap from hiring contractors to hiring employees, Meg Baker knew she wanted to create a workplace where everyone felt empowered and supported. Through being open about her values and asking the big, uncomfortable questions–both of her employees and of her clients–she’s been able to foster equity in her business and help other CEOs do the same.

In today’s episode, Meg is sharing her journey on hiring the right team, and creating a work environment that prioritizes diversity, equity, and inclusion. She opens up about her own experience being held accountable as a business owner and how it helped shape her business and processes today. Plus, we’re talking about being open with your values online, especially if you want to hire like-minded people.
