I met Darlene Slaughter earlier this year while I was moderating a panel discussing at the Hacking HR conference on moving from insight to action in DEI. I knew from that moment that we needed to continue the conversation we started from the panel, on the show.
Darlene is the VP, Chief People Officer with March of Dimes and her knowledge and experience in the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion space is so great that we wanted to share it with you.
In this episode, Darlene and I discuss:
? How the Black Lives Matter movement has impacted her as a human and DEI practitioner
? What DEI means to Darlene
? Why having a heart of gratitude matters to Darlene
? The misconception about HR that bothers her the most
Darlene briefly shares her story of losing her husband to COVID, as we have a very vulnerable conversation about where do we go from here to create inclusive workspaces knowing what we know now.
