Building a thriving workforce with DEI
Description
Guest: Avery Francis
What do the terms "diversity," "equity" and "inclusion" (DEI) mean in a practical sense, and how can investors ensure that companies aren't simply ticking the box to earn points for a better environmental, social, and governance (ESG) score?
"Work should work for everyone," says Avery Francis. She is the founder and CEO of Bloom, a Toronto-based consulting firm that helps companies implement changes to improve productivity by making their workplaces more accommodating to all their staff.
On this episode of 'Responsible Investing for a Sustainable Economy,' she talks with host Tim Nash about the "diversity debt," and what workers can do if they want to find a job that better aligns with their values.
Francis is also the host of Girlboss Radio.
