Joint Center Quoted in CBS News on DEI Functions in the Workplace

Jessica Fulton, vice president of Policy, was quoted in CBS News regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policy implementations within the workplace and how they function to benefit workers.

From the article: “These policies don’t actually dictate who gets hired. They are ways to open doors to people who might not have access or aren’t as well-connected in an industry or occupation…’It could mean making sure women are able to enter traditionally male-dominated occupations, like construction or technology,’ Fulton said. ‘It’s about addressing issues around equal pay for equal work, making sure people feel safe in the workplace so they don’t feel discrimination when they come to work, because workers who don’t feel safe are not the most productive.'”
