Description
In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, I’m joined by Elena Gallo, VP HR at Paramount. She shares how their data-driven D&I strategy is increasing revenue, safety, and engagement. Hear insights on the business case for D&I, putting global initiatives into local action, responsible on-screen representation, and why this work requires patience alongside quick wins. Elena also advises organizations to stay curious rather than defensive on their own D&I journeys. Tune in to discover practical steps any business can take to foster equity.?
