Family Caregiving is a Diversity and Inclusion Issue

One of the biggest corporate diversity and inclusion issues facing us this century has nothing to do with age, gender, sexuality, race, religion, ethnicity, or ability. Unlike most diversity and inclusion issues, its source isn’t always an integral part of a candidate or employee’s personal identity. And someday, you could be one of the people discriminated against, or you could already be guilty of doing the discrimination yourself.

The issue? Family caregiving

More on my thoughts as to why Family Caregiving is a Diversity and Inclusion Issue can be read on the TLNT-Talent Management and HR website.
