Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, DEI an' Nem
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training has been the hot buzzword in corporate America for a few years now. However, has the effective execution of DEI training manifested in the corporate workplace? Well, this week on the Bail Yourself Out Podcast, host Kandice Whitaker joins this week's co-host and DEI expert, Dr. Brenda Carter, on the realities of DEI in America today. What are the intentions versus the reality of actual DEI programs in America? Are corporations just checking boxes, or are fundamental changes occurring? Dr. Carter shares the harsh reality of where DEI programs currently are in the corporate USA, what healthy programs look like, corporate allies, and the issues they should be addressing.
As two women striving in corporate America environs, Kandice and Dr. Carter reflect on the post-pandemic increased workplace flexibility, the dangers of employers and employees who fail to see the value in this tractability, and how it can be an asset to all involved.
The hosts also cover the mental health aspects of a toxic workplace. What qualifies as "toxic," how it typically manifests itself, and why "suck it up and deal" is no longer the appropriate course of action.
Finally, the hosts discuss leaving your current employer. Why would one do so, when is the right time to part ways, and what are the benefits of leaving? Most importantly, Kandice and Dr. Carter expound on why staying with your employer for years on end is an old idea that has passed its expiration date.
