a better workplace

Beth Chandler, YW Boston President and CEO, joined Wistia, a video hosting platform based in Cambridge, MA, for their podcast “A Better Workplace.” With the podcast’s co-hosts Jane Jaxon and Colin Dinnie, Beth discussed the impact of equity and inclusion work, the history of the industry, and how to move through challenges. 

 

Wistia’s introduction:

In the 10th and final episode of the season, Jane and Colin sit down with Beth Chandler, President & CEO of YW Boston. Beth explains how organizations can conduct effective diversity training, why hiring diverse talent shouldn’t be your sole focus, and how to replace boring box-checking exercises with lasting, meaningful change. She describes the approach her team takes to diversity training at YW Boston, a non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. She provides practical advice that can be applied in any workplace, like how to get buy-in across an organization and why employee mandates are often ineffective.
