Black History Is American History
Another February has circled its way on our calendars. The month-long celebrations, awareness, and promotions have ramped back up as we give honor to Black History Month.
The Perception of Justice
You may be mission-focused and doing your best to uphold justice within the decision-making and processes of your workplace.
Microaggressions in the Workplace
It’s a casual comment, an innocent catch phrase, or an ignorant stereotype. Microaggressions in the workplace are too common and cause serious damage to the health of organizations.
Implicit Bias
Organizations that desire effective diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging must be aware of the ways bias can threaten their pursuits of a healthy workplace.
Multigenerational Workforce
The word “multigenerational” is often one of those words we like in theory, but when it comes down to it, we expect more of the challenges than the benefits in our organizations.
Equitable and Inclusive Hiring Practices
Equity and inclusivity don’t begin at the team orientation meeting. They begin with the hiring process itself. In a society where distinctively Black names on entry-level job applications are showing a 2.1% less chance of getting called back, and where white Americans are consistently surpassing Hispanic applicants in higher paying management positions, and where 25% of women say they are being unfairly compensation in comparison with their male co-workers, there is work to do as we desire to promote equity and inclusivity in our hiring practices.

Emotionally, research shows the effects of eating unhealthily can lead to depression, lethargy, stress, and anxiety to name a few.
Juneteenth: Showing Care vs. Commercialization
There’s a dangerous trend in the United States when it comes to holidays. It involves taking hold of a deep, beautiful, and rich holiday meaning to then squeezing out all the profits available from it. Have you ever sensed this?
The Great Resignation
How Inclusivity Plays a Key Role in Retaining Your Best Employees
We’ve heard this term thrown around for a while now–the Great Resignation. And we’d like to take a closer look at some data pointing to the “why” behind the record-breaking millions of Americans who have left their jobs during this Great Resignation, which began in the Spring of 2021 and is continuing to this present day.
Diversity Day
We have a huge opportunity coming our way to join the world in acknowledging and celebrating a day called Diversity Day (also known as World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development) on May 21.
