Equity and Inclusivity in the Future of Work
with Susan Borke, DP Venkatesh, Dorothy Chang | Moderator: Jeleen Sindall
As we emerge from a global pandemic and rejuvenated social justice movements, we realize that how we interact in the workplace has changed forever. We love the promise of a hybrid team being able to thrive from the capabilities for balance and choice that come with the innovations in technology and management theory that fuel hybrid work.
But what are we missing? How can we take advantage of this (r)evolution to address some long-standing inequities and unconscious biases that keep APIs from advancing and bringing their full selves to the workplace? Come explore this sticky question with those at the forefront of this opportunity to change the world.
