In this episode, Mary Sullivan, co-founder of Sweet but Fearless, talks with Dr. Raymona H. Lawrence about her framework called ROAR, about recruiting, onboarding, activities, and retention in the world of diversity and inclusion. Often, companies recruit for diversity but onboard for confirmatory. Recognizing the challenge of fostering a sense of belonging, asking questions can help build an inclusive environment that values diversity. “How does this system work for you?” “How do you best work? Are you task-oriented or more free spirit?”

Understanding the needs and strengths of the individuals at your organization you can adapt your strategies and activities to ensure a continually inclusive and supportive environment. Dr. Lawrence provides actionable steps to help your ROAR.
