With board and C-suite executives increasingly demanding action on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, businesses and their HR teams have no choice but to ensure better integration across the board.

In this episode of The HR Leader podcast, host Jack Campbell speaks with Gartner HR Advisory senior principal Jasleen Kaur about how businesses and organisations are increasingly focused on getting DEI right, embedding it into recruitment, workforce planning, and overall talent management, what better integration of DEI looks like across the business, and why it is so beneficial to integrate DEI into workforce planning.

Kaur also delves into the nexus between DEI and addressing talent shortages, addressing the shortfalls on DEI in certain businesses, why DEI needs to be at the forefront of decision making, overcoming various challenges, and whether data analytics will be crucial in promoting DEI moving forward.
