In this episode, host William Tincup talks with guests Kim Rohrer and Kristopher Martinez from Oyster HR, delving into DEI in the workplace and exploring ways for companies to enhance their efforts.

Kim and Chris emphasize the importance of fostering an environment where employees feel comfortable discussing sensitive topics and appreciating the nuances of DEI on a global scale. They spotlight often-overlooked demographics, such as caregivers, and suggest examining promotion rates as an indicator of success.
