In the fourth episode, I will sit down with Environmental Health and Safety Engineer, John Mack Jr. to discuss the Black Lives Matter protests and workplace diversity.  Are companies changing their policies and support in the workplace?

He is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin and Southeastern Oklahoma State Univerity with a Masters Degree in Science and Occupational Safety and Health.

  • Companies that promote based on skill.
  • Management that seeks you out for your expertise.
  • Knowing when to move on from a toxic work environment.

Key Takeaways: 

  • Make an effort to build a 1 on 1 relationship with your coworkers. 
  • Search for companies who are willing to invest in their employees as well as their interactions and relationships.
  • Quality companies have diverse groups within the company to support and build respect for those diverse groups.
