E30: The Power of Equity – Distilling Equity Into Talent Strategies

Inclusion Unscripted

When you think about equity, what are your first thoughts? The normal narrative around DEI goes something like this, “Organizations must make diversity not a nice to have but a key advantage in your organizations’ core mission, corporate and social responsibility, and because it’s the right thing to do.” Nowhere in that discussion do we add equity.

In this episode, Margaret Spence will follow up on last week's episode, where she discussed the collective impact of equity. This week we will define equity as fairness and justice achieved through systematically assessing disparities in opportunities, outcomes, and representation and redressing [those] disparities through targeted actions.

How does equity play out when you’re recruiting diverse talent, retaining converging voices, and building sustainable initiatives to tackle executive leadership diversity? To dismantle the walls and silos around diversity, we must build a bigger tent that includes equity.

Inclusion Unscripted, where we’re not just talking about diversity and inclusion, we’re living it. The Inclusion Unscripted Live Weekly Podcast is unapologetically honest about diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Our goal is to empower diverse listeners to ask for what they want and to inspire organizations to co-create more equitable and inclusive workplaces. Tune in every week for a new episode. Inclusion Unscripted is a live-streamed broadcast every Friday at 2 pm EST on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Join us live, or find us on iTunes, Spotify, or your favorite podcasts app.
