Getting To Work

In this episode of Getting to Work, host John Spencer sits down with Inez Reyes, a consultant with over 30 years of experience in corporate America. Inez shares her powerful story of advocating for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace, starting from her early days in a large New York publishing company in the late 1980s. She discusses her bold approach of going straight to the top leadership to address discrimination issues, the importance of implementing practical solutions, and the challenges faced by employees who fear retaliation. Inez also emphasizes the critical role of company leadership in setting the tone for DEI initiatives and the benefits of creating a diverse workforce.
