As we continue building towards a more socially conscious world, it’s critical for organizations to evaluate their total rewards strategy through the lens of environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) and specifically, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). 

The Institute for Corporate Productivity wants to know what the best practices are for Diversity and Inclusion. My thoughts? We should be focused on the next practices, rather than best practices, because in order to ensure equity means we need to ensure that we are thinking ahead of the curve.

As an industry, the possibilities of artificial intelligence (AI) often make us so eager to create new applications that we sometimes forget to consider all the people who will benefit from them. Or those who will be excluded when we don’t factor the principles of diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) within the data we use to build the applications.

In this session, we discussed how allyship across and within communities can help identify and diversify the work that makes a dynamic impact.

The mechanical engineering industry, whether you are in the technology sector or the operational sector of it, is widely dominated by cis-men at every level of the organization. We talk about the ways to increase gender diversity, and how the intersections of race and gender can change the footprint of mechanical engineering overall.

Virtual Care is a critical component of making sure everyone has an equal chance to accessing healthcare. To ensure employees are able to perform their best, you must take into account the status of their health, and support them in ensuring that they are happier and healthier every time they come to work.
