Studies show that diverse teams who feel safe to contribute in a meaningful way outperform teams who don’t have that same level of diversity. The question is, are you truly doing everything you can to get the most out of your people? In this episode, we’re joined by Andrew Adeniyi, Author, CEO and Founder of AAA Solutions, and first generation Nigerian American, to discuss the three Ps of creating a diverse, inclusive, and equitable culture in the workplace. Andrew also shares his insight on the importance of belonging and how it plays a role in employee engagement, satisfaction, and turnover, as well as how the “platinum rule” of DEI has the potential to change the way we view diversity.
