This week Caroline Escalante, who has over 17+ years of experience building and leading high-performing Global Talent and People teams and Organizations with a focus and lens on Culture and DE&I at both large (Google) and small (Headspace) companies, joined Untapped to discuss being intentional with DEI. We dove into the difference between a top-down versus a bottoms-up approach, ways you can experiment and innovate your talent practices, and much more.  

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to convince leaders to utilize different talent practices and patterns
  • How to incorporate experimentation and innovation into your talent & D&I practices
  • That talent is no longer a buyers market
  • What can be done right now even if you don't have a D&I leader in seat yet
