The Missing Pieces to Building Inclusion: Is Your Organization “REDI”? with Dr. Gena Cox

We have put much effort into diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) work over the last four years, but the results have been disappointing. Why? What should we be doing differently? Discover why many well-meaning leaders are left scratching their heads as underrepresented talent slips through their fingers, and employees push back against diversity initiatives. In this eye-opening episode, we'll unravel the mystery behind failed DEI strategies and reveal the missing pieces of the inclusion puzzle. This isn't just another DEI discussion – it's your roadmap to meaningful, lasting change built on psychological science, with our guest expert today, Dr. Gena Cox.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

This episode will unlock the secrets to building a genuinely inclusive workplace with insights steeped in Industrial/Organizational psychology. You will discover a 3-point framework that cuts through the noise and become laser-focus on what truly moves the needle on organizational inclusion. We will move past the concept of "Respect" as a corporate buzzword and instead consider how it can be a powerful construct that can set your leadership apart in today's diverse business landscape.
