In this episode, Unmuted Podcast host, Jeff Waldman, invites Dr. Kristen Liesch to talk about how organizations can move past "talking about DE&I" to moving to action. Real action with a lasting positive impact that makes a difference. According to Deloitte, nearly 70% of employees reported that their organization prioritizes DEI but only 35% reported that their company has substantially followed through on their commitments. This episode is a must-watch to learn how to easily make this shift from words to action.The following areas are discussed:How can leaders and organizations start to make this shift from “words to actions”. Where can they start? Is there a way to ensure new efforts last and are sustainable? Another way of putting this is, “Is it about programs and activities, or is it about mindset and how you operate”?Are there any case studies or personal experiences you can share that illustrate the journey from talk to action in the realm of DEI?Tidal Equality created the “Equity Sequence”. What is it and how does it help organizations move from words to actions? What is unconscious bias and can you eliminate it?
