Frankenstein DEI (Episode 60‪)‬ [un]phased podcast

    • Self-Improvement

On today’s episode, Shaunna and Lisa dive into the specific skills a DEI professional needs to have to do the work well. The podcast has previously covered the need for companies to hire an outside DEI professional. They have warned against “giving” the job to the person of color or woman in their agency without knowing their capacity to facilitate change or paying them any extra for their labor. Today, Shaunna and Lisa outline the kinds of skills and attributes listeners should look for when hiring a DEI consultant or creating a permanent DEI position. A lot of money is being spent on workplace DEI transformation initiatives, but the hosts encourage listeners not to throw their money at the issue without doing their research. There are hundreds of DEI consultants nationwide and no clear standard for how to assess their legitimacy or skill to guide organizations through the process of change. To find out the key traits to look for when hiring, listen to this week’s [un]phased. It may just save you some money!
