Independent pressure groups like employees’ unions and societies at large are pushing corporate entities to be more transparent about their efforts and results to be more equitable, inclusive, and diverse. Our guests Jon Geier and David Cohen of DCI Consultants discuss the impact of data analytics on DE&I projects and how you can effectively use analytics for improving diversity, equity, and inclusiveness in your organization.

The United States has greatly expanded the civil rights that apply to the LGBTQ community.

In this episode, Rob guides us through the issues facing the LGBTQ community in the workplace.
