Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Inequality costs the U.S. economy $16 trillion over the last two decades (based on the lack of lending to minority entrepreneurs - $13 trillion in business revenue and 6.1 million new jobs per year) according to the Citigroup.   An organization is only as good as its diverse culture and inclusive environment.  Government decisions should be driven through the lens of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI&I) and be reflective of the community that it represents.  A supportive and engaging community and workplace is established by understanding the perceptual, institutional, and psychological processes that impact the ways people interact with each other.  Starting with a look at employee engagement, then identifying interventions surrounding unconscious bias and specific DE&I strategies.  DE&I fosters environments that are conducive to organizational success.
