008 DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) - a podcast by ASC Career Success

During everything that is happening in 2020, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion has taken a front seat in the world of hiring. How does a focus on DEI improve individual lives, and companies as a whole? We spoke with Kristine Snow, founder and CEO of Level D&I (leveldi.com), and Alex Lane from Career Success, to find out what DEI means, who it impacts, and ways to make your work environment more inclusive and welcoming. Kristine also shared a few resources with us:

2. Video: Understand why protests are happening and why African Americans are upset (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4amCfVbA_c).3. Educate yourself on the history and existing pervasiveness of racism. Remember, it is not on the black community to educate others about their struggles, it is on us to prioritize learning about these injustices. Provide education and resources for non-black employees to educate themselves on these issues.
