Taking DEI Out of Boxes
Manage episode 354793977 series 3310543
This week, HR Nightmares host, Lisa Leath is joined by guest co-host Graham Elmore, Director of People and Culture with Vantaca. They are joined by our special guest Caroline King, Founder of Bright Star Diversity. After 17 years working in business strategy for the corporate world, Caroline decided she wanted to help businesses fill the gap that she felt was lacking in the working world: DEI. Lisa continues the conversation around diversity, equity, and inclusion by asking Caroline how businesses can go beyond a check-box initiative, where to start if you have no programs or policies in place, and how to not only go through the motions but live it out in the workplace. Caroline shares that the biggest barrier to DEI in the workplace is fear. Fear of getting started and fear of offending people. With the right intention and continued conversations, DEI can be a core practice without the fear. The episode wraps up with two audience write-ins: a co-worker who thinks their colleague has dementia and a close-to promotion that goes missing after switching to a new department at a big tax firm.
