What does it look like to intentionally facilitate and invest in equitable and inclusive work environments beyond diversity and representation hiring goals?

In this episode, special guest Anees Hasnain, a DEI Leader at I Follow the Leader talks to host, Antoinetta Mosley about how systemic and structural inequities continue to show up in progression practices and promotion policies, workplace norms, and culture. They share stories of what causes organizations to stumble and how they've seen organizations meaningfully combine short-term actions with long-term strategic commitments to redesign their companies. The conversation will invite listeners, and their respective organizations, to move beyond issuing diversity, equity, and inclusion statements to taking action to acknowledge and address whose competence, capability, and contributions are recognized and compensated whose are not.

Guest Bio: Anees partners with community-based organizations as a Community Trainer and Programs Specialist, facilitating workshops, conversations, and capacity building on safety defined by community, rooted in consent, and trauma-informed.
