After last year’s massive economic crisis, a lot of companies scrambled to cut costs. One program that was often cut: D&E.

But when that was followed by a massive social crisis, companies had the choice to either save face through the things they said or to create positive change by actually taking action.

Will the dual nature of 2020 propel our evolution forward to where we start paying attention to our role in society?

We talked with Josh Bersin, founder of the Josh Bersin Academy, the world's professional development academy for HR, about how D&E plays a critical role both in organizations and in society as a whole.

We also talked about:

-How companies can embrace corporate citizenship.

-How D&E conversations have evolved.

-How companies can support minority communities now and in the future,

-The biggest opportunity HR professionals have right now.
