1. How do you build in DEI to all aspects, policies, and procedures to ensure an equitable business?
2. What does it mean to recruit for ‘diversity’ and does it matter if your culture isn’t ready?
3. When thinking about diversity in the workplace, what are some under-advocated groups?
4. What are some sustainable step-by-step approaches to changing a culture for the long term, not just to ride the DEI wave?
