Thanks for joining us for the last show of the season. The next show will be on January 19, 2018. I want you to stick around for this show. Janine Truitt and Chris Fields are back to discuss Janine’s recent article, “I Used To Love D&I: Why I’ve Fallen Out of Love With Diversity and Inclusion.” I wanted to Janine to share her perspective as she has worked with several companies to help roll out their Diversity and Inclusion initiatives and why it doesn’t shape into an effective program.

Chris Fields is the founder of the Resume Crusade, and also an HR professional and resume writer. He helps around 150 people yearly with resume and job search advice. His career advice was featured in O Magazine, Mashable, and Monster Working!

Here are some of our talking points:

Janine explains her article in stating diversity and inclusion programs are a sham, prohibiting to have the real conversation
Has it been a value-add, or does it need to be scrapped?
People are afraid of the more intimate conversations, no investment of emotional or personal disclosures
Many won’t face their biases, won’t face the overall problems
Diversity and Inclusion programs are often created to make the brand look good
Inclusion should be evident to all, to prove Diversity and Inclusion initiatives shows the lack of effectiveness
