In this episode, Kemo explains:
- why a safe space and empowerment are the key elements to let your people (and thus your company) flourish
- why companies at job interviews shouldn’t focus on the hard skills the person has, but on the soft skills
- why looking outside your own bubble is the way to diversity and inclusion
- why you need people at HR positions who really understand the concept of inclusivity and diversity, and truly live it, to make an actual change in your company
