On this episode of Financially Naked: Stories from The Financial Gym, our host is Rachel Adaline, HR Manager at The Financial Gym, and joining her is Sara W, Level 2 Certified Financial Trainer. Like other companies, The Financial Gym has a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging (DEIB) Program. As a way to share that internal program with the community, the last episode of each month on the show is dedicated to a financial topic with a DEIB twist.

Today, we are focusing on DEIB as a concept. Many of the best-performing companies out there have DEIB strategies, so today, we're asking, 'What is DEIB?' and 'Why is it important?' We then discuss what we do at The Financial Gym to ensure everyone feels a sense of purpose and belonging with our company.
