7 months ago

In this episode, we talk broadly about why some AAPI professionals don’t feel supported in Employee Resource Groups (ERG) and how that feeling and experience translate to other areas. As usual, we draw from the research and our own experience to discuss what lack of support looks like; what could be driving this trend; and what to do about it.

Let us know about your perspective. How supported do you feel at work?Reach us at: Hipsata1@gmail.com
