Friday, September 28, 2007; 10AM (Eastern)
Over the past three seasons, Diversity Matters has highlighted inclusion stories from the government sector, the field of education, within communities and across many workplaces. On this episode we focus on the story of one of the world’s largest business sectors – professional services. Deloitte & Touche has over 30,000 employees in the U.S. and as a firm formally began its journey to create a truly diverse firm-wide culture back in 1993. Joining co-hosts Richard Friend and Judy Seidenstein to share Deloitte’s story is the firm’s Chief Diversity Officer Redia Anderson Banks. As a leader in the field of diversity and inclusion for more than 23 years, Redia will share the story of how she moved from working as a special agent in the FBI to becoming Chief Diversity Officer at three Fortune 100 companies. We will tap into Reida’s thoughts and experiences regarding how minority leadership development differs from other types of leadership development efforts; and hear her insights on the changes she has seen in the field over the course of her career.
