Make Sure Your Organization Practices Inclusion Before Preaching Diversity

Tamica Sears of Cornerstone Coaching

Companies that aren’t structurally and culturally inclusive can be harmful to the mental wellbeing of employees who have been hired as part of a diversity program.

Ornella Bono of Cornerstone Santiago

During a conversation I had with a company director, he posed questions whose answers are still not clear: How can hybrid work be made effective?
