Show notes
On this episode, we talked to Leslie Short, and how she’s bringing the best of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) to big corporations that struggle with or strive to improve their own programs. And she’s doing it with a mind for serious, long-term, evolving relationships between employers and their most valuable asset – their people.
