Creating Inclusive Workplaces Through the Power of Data
This week I’m chatting with Tom Alexander, the CEO and Co-Founder of Holistic. Holistic helps people have better employee experiences through the use of data: they look at every aspect of the employee’s experience, from before they are hired until after they leave, in order to understand challenges and opportunities. Tom shares numerous findings obtained from the data collected by Holistic. One such finding is that the seriousness and timeliness with which performance reviews are performed closely mirrors the pay inequity gap. They have also observed that companies want to be made aware of their shortcomings in terms of diversity, equity and inclusion, but not without a proposed solution.
Tom shares insights and solutions for dealing with difficult situations. He also says that the day-to-day efforts put towards building and maintaining an inclusive environment are as much of a reward as the results.
