In today’s business world, prioritizing inclusivity drives diversity and fosters innovation. Mentorship plays a key role in career growth, while early, strategic marketing can set businesses on the path to success. Whether it’s refining services or using modern networking techniques, these elements are essential for building a sustainable and impactful business.
In a recent episode of the HR business marketing podcast, A Better HR Business show, Ben spoke with Karan Kapoor, CEO of Vividh, about the challenges and opportunities of starting a diversity and inclusion consulting business and building inclusive workplaces.
