In this episode, Gloria Feldt shares her experiences and thoughts about the importance of diversity, both gender and ethnic, in the workplace. She also discusses solutions and successes used by a variety of businesses and thought leaders, including the use of the word ‘belonging’ over ‘tolerance.’
Gloria discusses the connection between racism and sexism, and cites research that has found diversity improves the bottom line. She shares why many companies say they value diversity, though they execute on it with greater or lesser success, depending on several factors.
As a culture, if we see diversity as a plus, it is a plus. If we see it as a divide, it will divide us, with potentially disastrous consequences. Listen to this episode and connect with Gloria on social media to share your thoughts on this important topic.
