Confronting the "DEI Hire" Myth

In this episode, we talk with Laura Morgan Roberts, organizational psychologist and author, about her article, 'DEI Hires Don’t Lower the Bar. They Raise It.' Together, we take on the myth that marginalized groups "cheat" the hiring process, and reveal why it's homogeneity—not diversity—that truly lowers the bar. Roberts breaks down how we can flip the narrative, turning the "DEI hire" label into a badge of honor, while sharing the “four freedoms” we need to thrive at work.
