It’s Black History Month and it’s the perfect time for HR leaders to assess their company's DEI efforts.

I’m super excited to be joined by Dr. Nika White. She's an award-winning management and leadership consultant, keynote speaker, published author, and executive practitioner for DEI efforts in business, government, non-profit, and education. She's also president and CEO of Nika White Consulting. Listen in as we discuss her new book, Inclusion Uncomplicated: A Transformative Guide to Simplify DEI. If you'd like to learn how your organization can simplify DEI and make true change, this episode is for you.
