As we kick off Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate this year’s theme “Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together.” In our latest report, More Than A Monolith: The Advancement of Hispanic & Latino/a Talent,?#Coqual?finds many Hispanic & Latino/a professionals are misunderstood, stereotyped and underrepresented in the workplace. Career success doesn’t come from hard work alone. It also requires access to leaders who open doors. Having a sponsor, a senior advocate at their company who is willing to use their power and influence to help advance their career, is an important, career-making relationship. Effective sponsors should encourage their sponsees to bring their authentic selves to work. For more than a decade, Coqual Advisory? sponsorship tools and programs have been showing companies (and leaders) how to make this intentional.
