Want to create a workplace culture that truly embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Curious about where to begin?

This week's guest suggests this starting point: Understand why having people who think differently together, who trust and respect each other, is better than having people who all think the same or come from similar backgrounds.

Then, dive into the right questions. What does that culture look like? What does it feel like? What are the practical steps that get us closer to having a widespread feeling that—as different as we are—we all belong?

In this episode of HR Superstars, we get right to the core of these questions with Andrew Adeniyi, renowned author, CEO of AAA Solutions, and a man on a mission to cultivate cultures ****where diversity of thought is embraced.
