We keep hearing about the next wave of #AI, but what good is the next wave if it keeps old biases intact? Our recent study on biases in generative AI biases proves a critical gap: while AI models are advancing, the work to eliminate biases remains largely neglected. Most companies are racing to advance AI capabilities, but aren’t prioritizing bias-free algorithms. Why does that matter? Without it, we’re building tools that reinforce inequality. As we gear up for our next survey, we want to hear from you. Has your experience with generative AI evolved? Are systems feeling more inclusive, or is bias still a roadblock? Tell us in the comments. #BiasFree #Equity #BetterTogether ?

The gender wage gap has widened for the first time in two decades. Companies need to act now to close it. As we know, addressing pay equity drives better business outcomes, but here's a reminder of the benefits of not losing momentum to closing this gap: ? ???????????????? ??????????????????: Fair pay equals satisfied and committed employees. ? ????????????????????: Closing the gap builds trust, encouraging diverse voices to contribute ideas that drive real change. ? ????????????????????: Public relations campaigns amplify your commitment to equity, helping your brand connect with audiences who prioritize fair treatment. We help businesses communicate their DEI initiatives and support efforts to close the gender pay gap, and we use strategic storytelling to highlight their impact.

The Wheels Motel is on track to bring in about $412,000 this year, based on 2024 revenue through August. So far, the couple has paid themselves roughly $115,500. That puts them on track for about $174,000 in annual income. Overall, the motel is expected to turn an $81,000 profit in 2024. And though the workload is heavy and the lifestyle can otherwise be a little slow, Roxanna Harwood has no regrets about the couple’s decision to move. “It took a long time to adjust to the small town life, but I freaking love it here,” she says. “It’s literally like my little oasis.” Find more of their story:?https://cnb.cx/3Cqw6AZ

DEI isn’t a trend. It really isn't; it’s a must-have for building strong, future-ready organizations. Here’s why companies like Meta and IBM are leaning into DEI. Essentially, they know it is smart business: ?????? ????????????: Just like students choosing colleges based on state policies, employees are drawn to companies whose values match theirs. DEI-driven companies are more attractive to diverse talent and lead to a creative and innovative workforce. ???????????????????? ?????? ??????????????: Customers care about brands that stand for something. Clear DEI commitments build trust, showing that a company values more than profit. ?????????????????? ????????????????: Data from McKinsey & Company shows that companies with diverse teams perform better — by up to 35%! Different perspectives mean better solutions, smarter decision-making and stronger growth. ???????????? ??????????????????: A team that mirrors its audience understands its needs. DEI helps companies connect with more people, creating impact. ????????????-????????????????: Companies committed to DEI are more resilient and adaptable. DEI isn’t optional; it’s essential. #BetterTogether https://lnkd.in/eMqPygyM
