I'm Natasha Bowman. I am a labor and employment law attorney by trade, but decided early in my career that I didn't want to be on the dark side of misconduct, if you will, in the workplace. And decided to be more proactive in preventing harassment, discrimination, toxic work environments. I went over to the human resources side and, as the head of HR for a couple of Fortune 500 companies and healthcare organizations before founding my DEI leadership development firm, Performance Renew, that's New York City-based.
Employee disengagement may be a serious issue, but there’s no reason why your team couldn’t join that minority of cheerfully engaged employees in America.
