Dear Hannah,
It’s no secret that the accounting profession is changing at a rapid rate. There’s already been a 38% increase in minority-owned businesses since 2007, and companies in the top quartile for diversity are 35% more likely to have higher financial returns than the national average. Ultimately, for firms and companies to grow, our approach to diversity must evolve.
On Tuesday, I’ll be participating in a panel discussion about unconscious bias in the hiring process, best practices for a diverse workplace, the role diversity plays in venture capital funding, filling the pipeline of future workers and how Boston’s image affects employee recruitment. Joining me are Su Joun, principal of Diversity@Workplace Consulting Group and Femi Wasserman, founder and principal at Femi Wasserman LLC. The discussion will be moderated by Marcela García, editorial writer at The Boston Globe.
I strongly encourage you to attend this free event, which will take place on Tuesday, October 10, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at PwC. Please also share this event with your clients, friends and colleagues, or come as a group. This discussion is part of HUBweek, Boston’s festival for the future. Register for free at mscpaonline.org/hubweek. I hope to see you there!
For those of you observing Columbus Day, have a great long weekend!
