Creating a culture of inclusivity and diversity

Creating a culture of inclusivity and diversity


Dr. Virginia Bastian (Global Head of Talent & Development,
Suitability at Deutsche Bank) is a guest on the Transformation
Leaders Podcast hosted by René Esteban (Founder, CEO of

inclusivity and diversity within their team or organization, and
effectively address issues of discrimination or bias if they
arise.
