Get ready to challenge your perceptions and embrace a whole new understanding of the diversity workforce. I am your host Lochan Narayanan and I sit down with the dynamic and insightful Mrinalini Purkayastha, a passionate advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) with extensive experience in program management for this episode.
Mrinalini delves into the true essence and role of diversity, debunking the common misconception that it solely revolves around gender representation. She talks about how diversity serves as a powerful umbrella term encompassing underrepresented groups, such as the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, military veterans, and of course, women.
But that\'s not all - we dive deep into the realm of biases, both conscious and unconscious, that plague our society. With thought-provoking anecdotes and real-world examples, Mrinalini sheds light on the hurdles faced by marginalized communities, offering tangible solutions to combat these biases. She feels that sensitizing sessions, fostering open dialogues and repeatedly talking about the role of diversity will help organizations to truly create an inclusive environment.
Tune in to the episode as we talk about how unconscious biases are easy to fix, how to fix conscious biases and what activities that one can include in sensitizing training programs.
