      Quotes:

      “Very few organizations actually say, ‘Here’s a pathway for you. We see potential in you. Let’s see how we can help you grow.’ . . . [and] when you talk about equity, everybody needs a different ladder to climb.”


      “The biggest challenge with brining together data to answer HR questions is that there’s no consistency [from one organization to the next; from one department to the next; and from one leader to the next].”
