Inclusive Environments and Your Small Business
Manage episode 366068428 series 3406565
Join host MI State Treasurer Rachael Eubanks and her guest, Ashley Kuykendoll, director of Treasury’s Recruitment, Development, & Inclusion Division, to understand how a business owner can begin to build and grow an inclusive environment by taking the time to evaluate and remove unintended barriers for employees and customers.
In addition to encouraging employees to be their best selves and do their best work in a fair and just workplace, diversity and inclusion practices have added benefits. Removing barriers so a product or website is available to ALL people will contribute to a greater consumer base, higher product sales, and increased profit margins for your business!
