Hill Harper Talks Juneteenth and Championing Organizational Diversity

Guest:

Hill Harper, best-selling author, philanthropist and award-winning actor

Initiatives geared toward promoting diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) are increasingly vital to a business’s success.

Philanthropist and award-winning actor Hill Harper says, “We are only as good as the person who doesn’t feel heard, who feels marginalized, who is not experiencing pay equity, who doesn’t have their holiday celebrated, who doesn’t even have their holiday acknowledged, who’s told to hide parts of themselves.”

DEIB efforts are at the forefront of many human resource professionals’ minds. But how do we make sure we’re supporting these goals year-round?

In this episode of HR Break Room, Hill Harper will discuss:

• methods to build a culture with empathy and understanding
• how to build trust and open communication throughout a workforce
• the value of perspective in order to live fulfilled lives in the workplace
