Episode 15 In the U.S. it’s easy to find ourselves segregated in our neighborhoods, our religious gathering places, even in our grocery stores. However, the workplace represents the largest point of convergence for people across all dimensions of diversity. Is it possible that by creating more inclusive work environments we can also create a positive ripple effect beyond the borders of our office walls? Why is it essential for diversity and inclusion efforts to connect the workplace to the “worldplace”? Why should world class companies ensure that the position of Chief Diversity Officer (CDO) be added to their “C suite”? Learn about the groundbreaking development of the Johnnetta B. Cole Global Diversity and Inclusion Institute and their mission to create, communicate and continuously support the compelling case for diversity and inclusion in the workplace and the “worldplace”. Co-hosts Judy Seidenstein and Richard Friend address these and other provocative topics and questions with guests Dr. Johnnetta B. Cole and Bea Purdue. Dr. Cole is President of Bennett College for women and speaks on both a national and international level on issues pertaining to justice, diversity, the health and safety of women, children, and underserved populations around the globe. Bea Purdue is the Executive Director of the Johnnetta B. Cole Global Diversity & Inclusion Institute and is the mastermind of the highly successful Chief Diversity Officer’s Forum.
