With Victoria Pelletier, Managing Director, Accenture
How does an authentic leader create an inclusive culture?
Find out from featured guest Victoria Pelletier, Managing Director at Accenture.
Host Natalie Benamou, MBA (she/hers) and Victoria Pelletier, (she/hers) discuss how organizations can Build a More Inclusive Culture.
“If we want to build a more inclusive culture where people feel like they belong, are more engaged, and therefore performing at higher levels, then a big part of that is the time we invest around the people in the business. What do we need to do to make that an element that we measure? What are we doing to create a more inclusive culture? That should absolutely be a measure of performance beyond the widgets or productivity metrics that need to be produced each year.”– Victoria Pelletier
