Theresita Richard Chief People and Culture Officer and Global Head of Justice and Belonging Patagonia
According to Theresita Richard, Chief People and Culture Officer and Global Head of Justice and Belonging at Patagonia, the best way to support a diverse workforce is to ensure that company values are embedded in the culture. Speaking at the Fortune Workforce Innovation Summit, she said that people need to“ see that it’ s real” rather than about“ putting out a headline”.“ It’ s about what’ s actually happening in my day-to-day,” she says.“ When those things don’ t add up, it’ s cognitive dissonance, and you can feel that literally in your body.”
