Building a thriving workforce with DEI

Guest: Avery Francis

What do the terms "diversity," "equity" and "inclusion" (DEI) mean in a practical sense, and how can investors ensure that companies aren't simply ticking the box to earn points for a better environmental, social, and governance (ESG) score?

“Work should work for everyone,” says Avery Francis. She is the founder and CEO of Bloom, a Toronto-based consulting firm that helps companies implement changes to improve productivity by making their workplaces more accommodating to all their staff.

Francis is also the host of Girlboss Radio.
