Coronavirus: Workplace Diversity Part Two

If the pandemic has acted as an accelerant to business trends, it has also become an accelerant to inequality.

Last year, before the onset of coronavirus, the Census Bureau found income inequality was at its highest level in 50 years, with two-thirds of the total wealth in the country owned by the richest 5-percent.

Meanwhile, 4 out of 10 American adults said they would have difficulty covering a $400 unexpected expense, more than 38 million Americans are living in poverty, and more than 14 million children went hungry last month.

When discussing these facts and figures, it is important to remember that there are people behind the numbers.

To do a deeper dive with us on this topic, we're joined by Dane Holmes, co-founder and CEO at Eskalera, a diversely founded company, committed to providing employees and managers with the knowledge and skills to build a more inclusive culture and helping organizations drive systemic and sustainable change.

Leveraging Your Diversity at Work

What if one book was able to serve as the guide to getting hired, being promoted, and thriving professionally for the 40 million people of color in the workplace?

Today’s guest, Porter Braswell, tried to accomplish as much with his latest book, Let Them See You: The Guide for Leveraging Your Diversity at Work.

Braswell, the CEO and cofounder of Jopwell, the leading career advancement platform for Black, Latinx, and Native American students and professionals, delivers Let Them See You as a collection of his straight-talking advice and mentorship for diverse careerists, from college students to mid-level professionals.

It’s also an invitation for diversity champions to listen in on the guidance and perspective Braswell provides, particularly for young diverse workers, the population that will make up the majority of the U.S. workforce by 2030.

In Let Them See You, Braswell chronicles how the majority-culture workplace evolved and why it’s imperative to have a more diverse workforce, while also explaining how it can be accomplished.
