As future generations become more and more diverse by way of ethnic and gender diversity, organizations need to be preparing now to create more inclusive and equitable environments for these employees. As professionals in emergency management, we understand risk, but have you evaluated the risk of not taking your DEI practices seriously? This episode explores that and what to do so you don’t get left behind. Raven Solomon is a global diversity, equity, and inclusion thought leader and nationally recognized keynote speaker who helps organizations get future-ready by understanding generations, racial equity, and their intersection.
