So, your company ticks all the diversity boxes. Cool. But here's the most ignored question: Do your people actually feel like they belong? "Diversity is counting heads. Inclusion is making heads count.” Inclusion isn't HR's job. It's everyone's job.

That's the party. New episode out tomorrow 6:30 PM. Your DEI strategy might need this wake-up call. Your move. Make it a winning one. #hr #hiring #interview #jobs #resume
