About Next Wave: How Business Must Be Part of the Solution
Hosted by WSJ | Barron's Group & Betaworks Studios
Events of the past weeks have highlighted an urgent need for diversity conversations to change gear and purpose. Understanding the dynamics of racial inequality and injustice, and taking action to redress them must become a priority for businesses. As employers, leaders, creators and advertisers, we have a responsibility to ensure our work and our workplaces are genuinely inclusive, to understand bias, to hire and promote diverse talent and to recognize bias and privilege. It is time to listen, grow our understanding and act. This event will bring together leading thinkers on racial dynamics, bias and diversity to talk about education and understanding.
Join The Wall Street Journal | Barron's Group and Betaworks Studios for the next edition of the Next Wave series.
