The future of fairness with Aubrey Blanche #12

The world has legislated for a fairer workplace and companies have promoted their contribution to a fairer world for years. But has much really changed? By 2050, fairness and purpose will look completely different, and employers will have to adapt to new demands from employees.

In this episode, Marissa is joined by Yale- and Stanford-educated Aubrey Blanche, a consultant for equitable organizational design to explore how to hardwire fairness into our businesses.

• As economic pressures give some employers an excuse to pivot away from DEI, what’s the prize for staying the course?
• Employers have attached themselves to high-sounding purpose statements, but many have strayed out of their lane and become less than credible.
• Will businesses have to show support for and even skill up their employees to be effective activists?
• Will the shareholder model of capitalism be overtaken by stakeholder capitalism where workers demand a fairer share of the value they create?
