Why Cutting DEI Budgets Is Bad for Workplace Wellbeing with Janelle St Omer

It's the penultimate episode of this season on workplace wellbeing, so we wanted to talk about what's going on in real-time. Companies are cutting their DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) budgets left, right and center. We'll talk a little bit about why that's happening, but also why it's the biggest mistake an organization can make. DEI and your wellbeing in the workplace are intricately connected, which is why I wanted to have this conversation today with Sr DEI Consultant, Janelle St Omer. 

In this episode we talk about:

• the many ways DEI shows up at work that you may not even realize
• how it correlates positively or negatively to stress and retention
• why companies are cutting their DEI budgets
• why that is an EPIC mistake
• what individuals, teams and leaders can do about it
• what gives us hope
