E30: The Power of Equity – Distilling Equity Into Talent Strategies

When you think about equity, what are your first thoughts? The normal narrative around DEI goes something like this, “Organizations must make diversity not a nice to have but a key advantage in your organizations’ core mission, corporate and social responsibility, and because it’s the right thing to do.” Nowhere in that discussion do we add equity. 

In this episode, Margaret Spence will follow up on last week's episode, where she discussed the collective impact of equity. This week we will define equity as fairness and justice achieved through systematically assessing disparities in opportunities, outcomes, and representation and redressing [those] disparities through targeted actions.

How does equity play out when you’re recruiting diverse talent, retaining converging voices, and building sustainable initiatives to tackle executive leadership diversity? To dismantle the walls and silos around diversity, we must build a bigger tent that includes equity.
