November 11, 2020 by natalieLeave a Comment

Natalie Keng, and several industry experts, were interviewed by Restaurant Informer Magazine for their take on finding a way forward with diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. The restaurant industry has been hard-hit by COVID-19 resulting in employment and human relations safety, welfare and wellness concerns making it ‘the’ opportune time to review, update or in some cases, establish clear diversity, equity, and inclusion practices.

According to the article, minorities continued to be underrepresented in management and executive positions even though they make up 47% of its employee base. But what is the most effective way to address racism in the workplace and how can change, real change be put into action?

Check out the article to see how Natalie believes change can be effectively implemented.
