The Ask MRS HR Podcast brings real talk and expert insights to your workplace dilemmas with a touch of humor and a whole lot of honesty.

In this episode, The DEI Challenge, Dr. Thelá Thatch delves into the barriers minorities face in the workplace despite qualifications and effort. She explores how dynamics like nepotism, cronyism, and social identity theory impact hiring and promotion, leaving many, particularly Black people and women, feeling sidelined as “out-group” members. Dr. Thatch discusses why DEI must be driven by decision-makers at the top, such as the CEO, rather than solely from HR. Tune in to learn how you can foster inclusion and even create your own opportunities to thrive at work.
