Moving the Needle on DEI

Shelly McNamara, head of equality and inclusion at Procter &
Gamble, knows just how valuable it is to work at an inclusive
company. Back in 2012, as a VP at P&G, she came out publicly as
LGBTQ, and she's since worked tirelessly to ensure that the
organization is not only diverse but also a place where all
employees feel like they can be their authentic selves. After more
than a year of pandemic and political and racial tensions in the
U.S. and other parts of the world, these issues have become even
more critical for businesses to address, and McNamara points to
specific DEI strategies that have proven effective in a variety of
corporate environments. McNamara is the author of the book "No
Blanks, No Pauses: A Path to Loving Self and Others."
