“How do I diversify my organization?” This is something we get asked often at P4G. And when you dig in, the real question behind it is often, how can I hire more People of Colour?“ While the intention is likely coming from a good place, it’s not the question we recommend starting with. Before we …
Our team has been sitting in the gravity of what we are all living through right now. This includes the privileged, celebratory lens we are inundated with regarding the Queen’s death.
