In this episode, black and brown employees of IBM talk with Zach Nunn, head of strategic growth at Diversity Inc and founder and CEO of Living Corporate, a DE&I network that amplifies black and brown voices in the workplace. The conversation covers careers, sponsorship, personal experiences of racial profiling and lack of equal opportunity, and how DiversityInc and Living Corporate support Black and Brown employees. Zach covers the role of data as the foundation for DE&I programs, and for creating more equity at work. He covers expectations of the workforce of tomorrow regarding diversity – and how that relates to attracting and retaining talent. He also covers how data, tooling, and job-related social networks can help executives and leaders plan for better D&I strategies. Zach then answers questions from the panel and the live audience including how best to advance the cause of black and brown folks as an individual, what to do to force / encourage change at employers as an individual, how white entry and mid-level employees can support black and brown folks in the workplace. Zach also discusses the power of group solidarity and dynamics in advancing a cause and how whites can use their power and power dynamics to help black and brown folks progress in the workplace.
