  • ESG and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging – with Andaye Hill-Espinoza and Alfredo Mendez
    Jun 5 2023
    A core component of the ESG program in any organization is diversity, equity and inclusion. Different organizations take different approaches to DEI, or DEIB. There is no one way to be a leader. But what does matter is consistency and commitment, particularly the concepts around diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, and how they continue to evolve. Such a commitment is especially vital given the ongoing war for talent and the need to attract and retain people to your organization.

    In this episode, we talk with Andaye Hill-Espinoza and Alfredo Mendez, two leaders in our enterprise who offer some highly informative insights on DEIB and how board members and executives need to understand its long-term value.

    Andaye is an associate director with Protiviti and a leader in the firm's ESG Center of Excellence and DEI programs. Alf is vice president, DEI and community for Robert Half, parent company of Protiviti.
