The Real ROI: In today's AI world, shaped by remote work's rise post-pandemic, reassessing our DEI strategy is crucial. We must go beyond token gestures to tackle systemic barriers, eradicate unconscious biases, and ensure equitable opportunities. As workplace dynamics change, building a culture based on trust and understanding is essential. Without trust, even well-meaning DEI efforts fail. Embracing diverse perspectives and addressing the unique challenges of all workforce segments can create an inclusive culture that fosters innovation. The Real ROI includes interviews with 50 CEOs such as Michael Dell, Carol Christ (Berkeley Chancellor), John Hennessy (Alphabet Chairman), Shellye Archambeau (MetricStream CEO), and Monica Lozano (Apple Board Director) with their tangible steps on how to embrace inclusion.
