Show Notes

Today, we're having an open conversation about race. 

Companies need to be intentional about having more racial inclusivity and diversity at senior levels. This plays a big part in the wellbeing and mental health of employees. It also contributes to the ultimate progress of a company.

In this episode, we share our thoughts on this issue and take a deeper dive at some of the key things holding us back.

Here are the highlights:

(03:58) The leadership gap.

(19:39) The narrow neck of the funnel.

(24:22) The attainment and pay gap between ethnicities.

(33:37) Code switching.

(41:31) Legislate proactively.
