As Talent Leaders, our influence on organizations, people, and structures is great, and so, therefore our responsibility. As influencers it is no longer ok for us to maintain the status quo, we must commit to being anti-racist and advocates for change, even when it means standing firm and making the hard decisions. Our leaders need our guidance and opinion more than ever before, we need to ensure our workplaces have a more equitable, shared power dynamic. It is up to us to drive belonging and justice for all, not just focus on diversity as a number. Barb Rozman-Stokes and Simon Fenwick will discuss how Talent leaders can “Take the lead” and drive a more deliberate, immediate, and transformative industry with equity at its core.
