What's Really Behind DEI?
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We hope you have had a wonderful start to February! We anticipate engaging in detailed discussions regarding DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) during the course of the year. For now, we wanted to share this marvelous video which talks about the struggles that women and people of color endure to achieve equity. The problem has never been that "Black" or "Brown" people - or women of any race - were hired when unqualified.
White men have been able to get hired without having a proven record based on "potential." Other groups have had to prove themselves prior to being hired. Listen to this brief video which details the positive impact DEI has on the work place. It is more than diversity: DEI raises standards for us all.
