Episode Description

Today’s buzz: D&I. We know that a solid diversity and inclusion policy can expand your workforce talent – but what about the bottom-line impact to your business? The experts speak. Karen Sumberg, Center for Talent Innovation: “Companies need to walk on two legs; they need two kinds of diversity, in order to innovate and remain competitive”. Mark McLane, Barclays: "Diversity and Inclusion should be about first recognizing that our colleagues are our customers; they are not separate and distinct”. Andrea Agnew, Comcast: “My grandmother told me to go out in this world and find your purpose to leave the world better than the world you found. In other words, ‘Be the change that you wish to see in the world’ (Mahatma Gandhi)”. Anka Wittenberg, SAP: “Companies that successfully build diversity within their employee base, coupled with a truly inclusive workplace culture, will have an undeniable competitive advantage in the future”. Join us for Diversity & Inclusion: Business Impact of D&I.
