DEI & the Bottom Line
In this episode, herdacious host Lorelei chats with Michelle Bogan about the benefits of diversity, equity, and inclusion on the bottom line. Increased employee retention, higher work productivity, creative problem-solving, and a 3% increase in company revenue are all only a handful of possibilities when we put diversity at the forefront. Trust us, Michelle has the data to back it up! As one of few women in her former workplace, Michelle shares her personal experiences and knowledge to help us envision how well-planned DEI initiatives can transform workplaces for the better and uplift all employees. From focusing on the whole picture when crafting a DEI plan to ensuring leadership is aligned, Michelle reinforces that DEI is not just a box for companies to mindlessly check off. It’s a tried and true solution that both advances opportunity for underrepresented groups and optimizes overall organizational functioning.
