HR Daily Advisor Conducts Q&A With HR Consulting Leader About Progression of Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace

In the last year alone, the news has been riddled with announcements from major companies like Netflix, Disney, Uber, and ABC implementing policies to ensure healthy work environments and the actions necessary to maintain them.

Glassdoor found that 57% of employees want their company to do more around diversity. With the changing workforce, employers must be proactive—diversity and inclusion will drive recruiting and retention in the future marketplace”
