    The future of work

    We've heard the term "The Great Resignation," and some would argue that it should be called "The Great Reshuffle" because employees aren't leaving the workforce - they're finding the greener grass at another company.  So what can employers do to build an attractive corporate culture and retain talent? Teena Piccione is the Managing Director of Telco, Media, Entertainment & Gaming at Google Cloud, and an advisory board member of our executive education, women and technical leadership program at the NC State Poole College of Management. Beth Ritter is a professor of practice in the Department of Management Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the NC State Poole College of Management.  Prior joining Poole, Beth was the Senior Vice President of Human Resources for Burt's Bees, where she was a part of the management team that sold the business to Clorox.

  8. Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) 101, with Tayah Butler and Danya Perry

    Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) 101, with Tayah Butler and Danya Perry

    On today's episode, Tayah Butler and Danya Perry discuss what we should be doing at Poole College of Management (and at all colleges and universities) to help grow the conversation of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), and how we can embed DEI into the curriculum. As Tayah looks at it, she's like "a river guide, an expert river guide. Because when we're trying to navigate the challenges that we encounter in diversity, equity and inclusion as both individuals, and then also as organizations, there are some smooth rivers that we can float down easily, but then there are some moments where it really is a rough ride."  Today, Tayah and Danya look at what students, faculty, and organizations can do to navigate the sometimes choppy waters. Tayah Butler is the first director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Poole College of Management at NC State University.  Danya Perry is the Director of Equitable Economic Development at Wake County Economic Development and the Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the Raleigh Chamber. The Poole Podcast is hosted by Jenny Hammond, and is a production of Earfluence.
