Even though we’ve made a lot of strides during the last several years, particularly in the last decade, when it comes to creating a more diverse workplace, there’s been huge interest of late in enabling and leveraging diversity and inclusion as key business drivers―whether to spark innovation, improve operating profit or enhance a company’s reputation, for example.

There’s a talent tsunami coming our way that includes more women, minorities, multiculturalism, and millennials in the workplace―as well as the retirement of Baby Boomers. Is your company ready?

This week in In Process (Trusted Counsel's bi-weekly podcast show), Jeffery Tobias Halter, gender strategist and author of “WHY WOMEN – The Leadership Imperative to Advancing Women and Engaging Men”; and Sharon Orlopp, retired global chief diversity officer and senior vice president of corporate people at Walmart, discuss:

• Today’s definitions of diversity and inclusion and how they differ

• The tangible and intangible benefits of diversity and inclusion
• Current barriers to diversity and inclusion in the workplace
• Strategies and tactics for implementing diversity and inclusion into business
• How to create an environment of support
