Pleased to share that John and I recently joined Juan Taveras on The Inclusive Leader Spotlight podcast. We discussed one of the core principles at John’s Crazy Socks: hiring people with differing abilities is not just the right thing to do—it’s good business. At John’s Crazy Socks, over half of our team members have a differing ability, and this diversity drives our success every day. Inclusive hiring isn’t charity; it’s about unlocking potential. Our workforce is stronger, more resilient, and more innovative because it values everyone’s unique contributions. In our chat with Juan, we explored: ? Why embracing diverse abilities fuels growth and strengthens teams ? Practical strategies for inclusive hiring and community-driven recruitment ? How a mission-centered workplace can drive both happiness and business outcomes I hope our story can inspire other organizations to see the power of inclusion. When we hire for abilities, we’re not just filling positions—we’re building a culture where everyone thrives. Check out the full episode to hear more about our journey at John’s Crazy Socks, and join us in building workplaces that welcome all. #InclusiveLeadership #DEI #DifferingAbilities #SpreadHappiness

At Great Place To Work US, we know Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are a source of 'Untapped Potential', so it was a pleasure to chat with Josh Levine ??to recap our 2024 Great Place To Work For All Summit, and take a dive into the power of ERGs - take a listen! #ERG #leadership #gptw #DEI
Professor, author, and speaker on the power of corporate culture and communication || Culture Management || Brand Strategy || Podcast Host
?? ? Let’s talk about the challenges and benefits of being involved in an Employee Resource Group (ERG)! In certain organizations, being involved with ERGs can be seen as a career roadblock, particularly as one climbs the corporate ladder. The fear of "rocking the boat" can deter ambitious leaders from these groups, even though ERGs are vital for driving accountability and progress. However, the best organizations flip this script. They actively encourage executive leaders to engage with ERGs, whether as sponsors or advocates, ensuring these groups have a meaningful voice at the table. This inclusion fosters a culture of transparency and collaboration. Join us on this week’s episode of Great Mondays Radio as Julian D. Lute dives deeper into the benefits of employee resource groups. He brilliantly highlights how ERGs are more than just communities; they're strategic assets crucial for fostering inclusion, belonging, and driving business success. They are not just support groups; they're powerful engines for growth and innovation. It’s sure to be an episode you won’t want to miss!

Embracing diversity isn't just a social imperative—it's a business advantage.?? It was amazing to have been able to discuss a topic, which is so close to my heart on the MITM podcast (bonus episode) with Katie Street. Shout out to MAD//FEST and Street Agency. Make sure you check out the event as well as speak to Katie Street about Live Podcast opportunities to cover this topic on the day! Special shout out to the remarkable Blueprint for All team for so much inspiration, since I started working with them in 2022.

Companies with diverse teams see improved financial performance Greater innovation ??, and enhanced decision-making. A diverse workforce helps us better understand and serve a diverse market ??, attract top talent ??, and strengthen our brand reputation. ?? Inclusive workplaces foster creativity, reduce turnover, and ensure compliance with regulations. ??The evidence is clear: diversity drives growth, competitiveness, and success. ??Let's commit to creating environments where everyone can thrive.
