In our current social climate, some organizations are taking a step away or back from their DEI efforts. In July 2024, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), announced that the organization was officially removing Equity from its DEI efforts, choosing to focus on Inclusion and Diversity only. To counter, many more organizations are moving full speed with their DEI and people culture focus. Listen as Arquella talks with April Allen and Shawna Unger, Partners and Co-Founders of Allen & Unger, which specializes in supporting clients to revitalize diversity initiatives, drive cultural transformation, and build more inclusive workforces. April and Shawna offer their insights on the importance of a continued emphasis on Equity, and share smart DEI strategies even during financially challenging times. You can either invest in all of DEI upfront, or pay the cost of a less then optimal work culture later. Inclusion and Equity are an essential duo.
