ROI of DEI, with Sara Taylor

Episode 101:

ROI of DEI

What You Will Learn:

  • Sara shares the story of “Jaden,” the manager of her local coffee shop who desperately needed a day off from nonstop work, an example of what happens when leadership does not invest in DEI work and learning
  • Why Jaden chose to give her two-weeks notice because she felt her manager didn’t respect her or her family
  • Why Jaden’s story demonstrates the need for businesses and organizations to invest in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion work
  • Why Jaden’s manager’s internal bias and lack of cultural competence has cost her a fantastic employee
  • Why employees “quitting their managers” can be just as damaging to a company as employees leaving their jobs, and why this is a perfect example of the ROI of DEI work
