Employers are responsible for creating and upholding health equity and it starts with building trust.
That was the message from Fair360, formerly DiversityInc CEO Carolynn L. Johnson as she moderated a panel titled “Building a Diverse Healthcare Workforce: Best Practices for Recruiting, Hiring & Promoting Professionals of Color” at the Center for Healthcare Innovation’s Diversity, Inclusion and Health Equity Symposium in New York City last week.
“On top of building trust, organizations should be intentional with their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts,” said Tracey Volz, Assistant Vice President of Sponsored Research Operations at NYU Langone Health (No. 7 on Fair360, formerly DiversityInc’s 2022 Top Hospitals and Health Systems list and No. 8 on the 2022 Top Regional Companies list).
