This video features a panel discussing DEI from Total Retail Tech 2023 in Denver. Speakers include Richard Armour, chief digital officer, At Home; Roz Johnson, senior vice president, chief people officer, Build-A-Bear Workshop; Danielle LaFleur, president, Bandier; and moderator Monica Williams, chief consulting officer, The Equity Project.

Studies have proven that more diverse teams and organizations perform better. Yet progress with diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives remains stubbornly slow for far too many organizations. This panel will address solutions to this challenge, including developing a talent pipeline of minority candidates, championing DEI efforts both internally and externally, technology investments that can support DEI goals, among other points.
