Making differences work
It’s our responsibility as leaders to make sure that people from every walk of life are included and heard and valued when they come to work.
But how do we do that? This is a challenge that everyone is working on, though, let’s be honest: a lot of diversity, equality, and inclusion initiatives at the corporate level just aren’t moving the needle enough.
Our guest in this episode thinks about DEI (diversity, equality, and inclusion) differently. Paul Sarvadi is the Chairman and CEO of Insperity, an HR solutions company for small and midsize businesses.
Hear how Paul and his team embrace diversity as a starting point and then build on it to find a true sense of commonality and cohesion.
Instead of just checking off a box for DEI initiatives, they’re actually developing genuine connections that really move their business forward, all while making sure everyone has a voice at the table.
You’re going to love hearing how Paul values people and how it shows up in the way his company operates.
You’ll also learn:
- Why you need a people plan (and how to build one)
- A better way to think about hiring that goes beyond a boost in productivity
- The reason many DEI programs fall short
- The powerful insight Paul got by talking to his closed-lost accounts early on
- Tips for growing as a leader as your company grows, too
