In this special episode of HR, We Have a Problem, Sapient Insights Group CEO and Managing Partner, Teri Zipper and guest Lindsay Wrege, Co-Founder & CEO of 321 Coffee — a company built on creating inclusive workplaces for individuals with intellectual & developmental disabilities (IDD) — discuss the importance of diversity, inclusion, and the positive impact these values have on organizational change. 


Key points covered include:


↪️ 80% of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are unemployed — 321 Coffee is working to change this by including people with IDD at the forefront of their business.


↪️ The company emphasizes the importance of representation and individuality, featuring images of team members on packaging, in social promotions, and in stores.


↪️ Faced with the pandemic's impact on retail, the business pivoted to coffee roasting and online sales to expand their reach and share their story with a broader audience.


↪️ Building on their success within the business, academic, and social communities throughout Raleigh, 321 Coffee is now ramping up speaking and consulting engagements, teaching other businesses to thrive through true inclusivity.



Special announcement!  As a leader, fostering a more inclusive and positive culture in a workplace of constant change is hard and messy but not impossible.
