In episode 97, Coffey talks with Terri Swain about the problems with corporate DEI efforts since George Floyd’s 2020 murder and other HR-related items in the news.

They discuss why many corporate DEI efforts have yielded few meaningful changes; why successful equal employment opportunity programs take the long view; why leaders need a systemic approach to mitigate bias; and how Uber’s diversity leader’s troubles reflect the state of DEI. They also discuss strip clubs getting unionized; the EEOC’s response to the use of AI in HR; and the “crisis of trust” in corporate leadership.
