Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion: From Buzzwords to Behaviors | Jeannine Carter

The Delivering Happiness Podcast

We talk with Jeannine Carter, Founder & CEO of Incluvations about what leaders can do during these times of racial injustice and pain to create safe, inclusive, and diverse work cultures. Jeannine shares some of the basic frameworks for understanding the differences between diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) along with ideas for how leaders can begin this complex work.
Jeannine and Paul discuss why diversity by itself is not enough to sustain an organization and how a diverse team who does not feel included or that things are equitable may lead to burnout and turnover. Jeannine also shares examples of how to become a more inclusive leader, steps to new awareness, and some of the most common issues around DEI that her clients are facing.
