Aparna Rae — Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in the workplace requires deep structural change
Season 3, Episode 9, Dec 10, 2023, 08:35 PM
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in the workplace should be driven by data and transparency. But, says Aparna Rae, it is not enough. The real work is deep structural change to the organisation if we are to make our systems more equitable, more fair, more just, and not take dignity and humanity away from people.
