This podcast is part of a series on the Workology Podcast focusing on DEI and HR. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are not new ideas in the HR and corporate arenas, but in recent months the importance and significance of DEI in the workplace has gotten leaders throughout corporate America to think about what doing the right thing in our community looks like.

Conversations about leadership and culture are extremely important – and we need to have more of them because those conversations spark change.
