Recommendation

A Fortune 500 firm suffered a PR debacle when a victim of anti-gay comments filed a harassment suit against it. The CEO hired Jennifer Brown, a diversity and inclusion consultant and LGBTQ+ advocate, to talk to 25 top executives – all white males – about equity. Some executives belittled and dismissed her information; others kept checking their watches. That happens when you challenge the establishment on equity; progress requires knowing what to do and how to do it. Brown offers a step-by-step guide to help your firm do a good job of handling inclusivity and diversity issues. 

Take-Aways

  • Many organizations struggle with inclusivity and diversity.
  • Employees often must overcome multiple discriminatory barriers.
  • Companies that are not inclusive or diverse can lose their competitive edge and harm their internal social cohesion.
