The Next Move: How Business Can Close Racial Economic Gaps in 2021
In the face of high expectations to directly address the roots of inequality, what should companies prioritize?
In this webinar, panelists discussed what organizations can – and should – be doing to drive change on racial equity: providing equitable access to good jobs, empowering workers of color once they’re in an organization, and using business influence to level the playing field in consumer life and in communities. The panelists highlighted how these actions must be paired with new ways of leading, co-creating and collaborating across companies and sectors to close the opportunity gap for all.
