In a recent episode of 'Notes to My (Legal) Self,' Malobi Achike, the CEO of DEI Directive, emphasizes that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives are crucial for modern workplaces. Her journey from corporate frustration to founding a tech platform that empowers HR professionals highlights the urgent need for addressing systemic inequalities that lead to professional trauma. Achike discusses common misconceptions and the importance of building trust within organizations, advocating for fairness that benefits all employees, and asserts that DEI isn't about lowering standards but expanding opportunities.
DEI isn't just a moral imperative - it's a business necessity.
Building trust within an organization is key, she explains. Employees must feel confident that HR will advocate for fairness, not just the company's bottom line.
I've seen people navigate situations where their contributions are undervalued or overlooked - and it takes a toll.
It's about expanding opportunities for individuals who have historically faced barriers.
