    Here are some key takeaways from this episode: 

    Gini Coefficient measures inequality

    “Would a high Gini coefficient point to a high concentration of these things with a small number of people?”

     You can repurpose it to measure inequality where you work

    “I don’t know if it’s creator would approve but what if we used the Gini coefficient for something useful where you work”

    Not everyone’s going to agree with you

    “Critics will say that they’re already collecting data, if so great, but I hope what you’re doing goes a lot further than the engagement surveys from HR”

    Here are some resources so you can go deeper:
