\\u201cI like to say [recruiting] is the fun side of HR. We\'re not dealing with investigations into people\'s drama. We\'re out there connecting the brand and the core values to the organization, to people, and attracting them to come in and be in alignment with that.\\u201d \\u2014 Clarisce Tolston [0:09:20]

\\u201cIf you create the environment where people are \\u2018quiet quitting\\u2019, you need to check your culture, not the people that you want to secretly fire because they\'re not working on the weekend.\\u201d \\u2014 Clarisce Tolston [0:26:54]

\\u201cThe people at the top must reflect the health and the body of the organization. That\'s what DEI [means].\\u201d \\u2014 Clarisce Tolston [0:39:36]

\\u201cThat\'s what DEI is. It\\u2019s saying, \\u2018I\'m coming to you with a certain need, based on culture, based on religion, based on my background. If you have the ability to accommodate me, you do.\\u2019 That\\u2019s it.\\u201d \\u2014 Clarisce Tolston [0:48:53]
