Alyscia and her team are dedicated to fostering equitable workplace cultures that celebrate diversity and inclusivity—not only because it’s the right thing to do, but also because it's just good business.

Whether you’re building a belonging and inclusivity program, considering one, or looking for ways to elevate the work you’ve already done, this episode is for you.

Here are some of the key topics and takeaways you’ll appreciate in this episode:

• The risks associated with not integrating DEI into the mission and vision of the organization
• Creating an inclusive and equitable workplace culture is essential for organizations to support their employees and improve performance
• For success, DEI initiatives should be tied back to strategy and align strongly with the overall business goals and mission of the organization
• The DEI space has evolved, with more organizations doubling down on their commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion; even if they are re-labeling their programs
• The evolution of the DEI space in corporate settings
• There are challenges and criticisms faced by DEI initiatives, but organizations should focus on the impact and outcomes of their work rather than the title or branding
• Strategy and intentionality are key in DEI work, along with clear communication of purpose and goals
