As the pendulum swings, seemingly away from what has dominated the business landscape for the last half-decade, it’s more difficult than ever to simply “do the right thing” and even to know what that right thing is. Together the group discusses what really matters when attempting to build high-performing teams, the importance of employee voices, and fostering workplace relationships while also navigating what has become a landmine-riddled field around the concept of DEI.\n\nChapters\n00:00 Introduction \n02:57 The Evolution of HR and DEI\n05:59 The Impact of COVID-19 and Social Movements\n08:59 Navigating Employee Expectations\n11:50 The Relationship Between Employers and Employees\n15:02 Understanding DEI and Its Challenges\n17:55 Finding Balance in Workplace Dynamics\n26:35 Core Values and Organizational Identity\n29:11 The Evolution of DEI and Its Challenges\n30:21 Understanding Equity vs. Equality in the Workplace\n34:06 Navigating Relationships in Organizations\n37:31 The Importance of Commitment in DEI Initiatives\n40:20 Creating Safe Spaces for Authenticity\n44:24 Building a Thoughtful Hiring Process\n49:17 Trust and Relationship Dynamics in the Workplace\nReferences in the Show:\n\nhttps://www.bizjournals.com/bizwomen/news/latest-news/2025/02/pay-salary-decline-quit-job-market-raise-gartner.html?utm_source=st&utm_medium=en&utm_campaign=nch&ana=e_n_bizwomen_tease\n\nhttps://techcrunch.com/2025/02/26/here-are-all-the-tech-companies-rolling-back-dei-or-still-committed-to-it-so-far/?guccounter=1 \n\nhttps://www.axios.com/2024/11/27/walmart-dei-trump-lgbtq \n\nhttps://diginomica.com/dei-20-how-companies-are-navigating-diversity-and-inclusion-reset-politically-charged-environment \n\nQuote of the Show:\n\n\"I need to know that you got my back or at...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/AoPG3flkss3fsfc-m7ywyJ39XTunoIaKRubQ7PAkerg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lNWVl/YWZiNDRlMGVlYjVi/MmE4MzhjNWQ1ZWMz/NDZmMC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
