I asked, ‘How many of you in this room were hired by way of employee referrals?' Almost all of them raised their hand. I said, ‘That's why we don't have diversity.' Because we're reling heavily on employee referrals and we're referring people that look like us. So, if we want to do this differently, go outside of your network. Seek out people, refer them in, and that's the only way we're going to have diversity.” “When you talk about equity and opportunity, it's giving everybody equal access. And what we find is that feedback is probably the number one thing where we see the biggest gaps in who's getting it—[and the same can be said about] career guidance.”Contact:Pam Jeffords LinkedInSusan Richards LinkedInDanielle White LinkedIn Production by Affogato Media
