What does it mean to be inclusive? A 2018 Pew Research Center report says that nearly half of post-Millennials or Gen-Zers are non-white. We know a diverse organization leads to diversity of thought and insight, but for HR pros? If you’re not thinking about diversity and inclusion in your recruiting and retention efforts, you’re missing critical talent across younger generations. Success starts with leaders at all levels and this week we’re starting at the top as we highlight what it takes to be an inclusive leader and HR’s role in the process. 

Our guests this week are CEOs who have rolled up their sleeves to do the work of transformation as inclusive leaders. 

Juliette Mayers is founder and CEO of Inspiration Zone, a strategic consulting firm specializing in diversity and inclusion strategy and has spent the last 30 years with Fortune 500 companies and large not-for-profits helping to create diverse and inclusive environments with built-in accountability.

John Regan is President and Chief Executive Officer of Associated Industries of Massachusetts (AIM). Among his accomplishments at AIM, John led a coalition of Massachusetts business groups in calling for significant change around racial equity in the workplace, and he spearheaded an effort to recommend businesses alter their policies to effectively address equity for female employees who suffered disproportionately during the COVID pandemic.  John was named by Boston Magazine to the 2021 list of 100 Most Influential Bostonians.

Inclusive leadership is critical for today's leaders, allowing organizations to attract diverse talent, customers, and ideas. We’re lucky to have Juliette Mayers and John Regan with us today to explore what it takes to be an inclusive leader.
