Today I am joined by Joseph Santana, who is Chairman of The CDO PowerCircle, an association of top DEI leaders from companies that generate nearly three-quarters of a trillion US dollars in revenue with one million employees.

 Joseph is also the creator and host of the award-winning ERG PowerTalk podcast that distributes over $100K+ of free training annually reaching over 300 million listeners and he is also an author and thought leader who has written numerous articles and books, including “Supercharge Your ERGs- 18 Tips to Power-up Your ERG/BRG Strategy” and more recently, The New DEI and ERG Frontier

Joe is also a member of the Forbes Business Council and the Fast Company Executive Board, and he helps Fortune 500 and global firms to grow and thrive in the increasingly diverse and global 21st-century workforce and marketplace.

His practical insights into the current and future business-impacting uses for DEI are fascinating and may just take you all to a whole new level of thinking. If you are an HR leader who wants to seize DEI opportunities, then I think you will enjoy this episode!  

We will attempt to discover the critical connection between ERGs, DEI and the economic success of an organisation.  We will also discuss Joe’s latest book, The New DEI and ERG Frontier, where he shows exactly how DEI and ERG efforts can rise and thrive in this new world of constant disruption.
