It\\u2019s time for leaders to think differently

We\\u2019re all biased in some way, shape, or form. In the past, it worked as a survival mechanism, and today it still sneaks into unexpected places\\u2014including HR and the staffing industry. Many companies talk the talk when promoting their \\u201cdiversity and inclusion\\u201d ideologies, but very few walk the walk. 

In this episode, I talk with Ashish Kaushal, the CEO of HireTalent and the Co-Founder of Consciously Unbiased. He\\u2019s a leading figure in the movement to promote diversity in the workplace and rethinking \\u201cdiversity\\u201d itself. 

Throughout our conversation, Ashish breaks down the advantages and challenges of workforce diversity. As we dive deeper, he also explains how implementing remote work policies contributes to making diversity and inclusion a reality. From race, gender, physical ability, and mental health status, Ashish shares specific strategies to retrain the workforce and open up the talent pool even wider.
