Namita Tirath, Chief Customer Officer @ Pyramid Consulting
Description:
DE&I and Belonging in the workplace is an essential business practice that high-performing firms prioritize as crucial to building environments that help their incredible workforce both full-time and contingent thrive! While enterprises have some DE&I policies in place, it is important to take a more comprehensive approach to ensure these practices exist in Talent sourcing and Talent Management sphere. To achieve this, vendors in the talent sourcing, management, and engagement space are developing use cases with DE&I as an underlying concept within the existing solutions.
Learning Points/Takeaways:
