Creating Inclusive Workplaces: Lessons from Joy Fitzgerald, Chief DEI Officer at United Health Group

Does your organization have a DEI Strategy, or is looking to create one? Then this podcast is for you. Creating an inclusive workplace involves navigating multiple layers, and it can pose challenges, particularly for large and established organizations that are entrenched in the status quo. So, how can these organizations make progress toward inclusivity? We recently had the privilege of speaking with Joy Fitzgerald, SVP & Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer at United Health Group, , who recently authored the inspiring book "Finding Authentic Rhythm: How to Win on Your Terms in Corporate America." Join us as Joy shares her journey, insights, and experiences in the human capital space, where she has been a champion for the underserved, underrepresented, and marginalized. Joy's practical and relatable approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion will challenge your assumptions and inspire you to create a more inclusive environment in your workplace and beyond. Through personal anecdotes and lessons learned, Joy highlights the importance of empathy, understanding, and tailored solutions for individuals and communities.
