236: Making Diversity Glo-cal (Global + Local) with Rick Hammell

The Diversity Pivot

Rick Hammell is the Founder and majority shareholder of Atlas, a groundbreaking company he established in 2015. With more than 20 years of experience in human resources, employee management, and global workforces, Rick's accomplishments have garnered recognition from prominent analyst firms, including Nelson Hall, IEC Group, and Everest Group. Together, we unpack:

• Why global growth is necessary for small businesses
• How diversity and inclusion is perceived differently around the world
• Future of work - hybrid, remote or in person?

As Rick says, “younger people have different expectations. My generation grew up to respect our elders. Every generation has a different experience than previous generations. Folks coming into the workforce today didn’t start work in an office, have grown up using technology from the start and the employee experience is critical for them. Communicating change with why and benefits to them is pivotal. Must have end goal rather than change for change sake.”
