Belonging: A Look at Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Growing up in Canada, Gena Pemberton was surrounded by all groups of people. But that didn’t mean she was always seen or heard by her peers. As VP Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Omnicom Health Group, she takes those past experiences to guide her work. She views DE&I as planning a party. Diversity is about who gets invited to the party. Inclusion is being at the party, and belonging is being asked to dance. Equity is being able to create the playlist — can I choose the songs?

Check out the latest episode of Healthy Perspectives and hear Gena talk about how the conversation about DE&I in the workplace has changed and why it’s important to create a supportive work environment.
