In this episode of the People and Performance Podcast, we consider the role of senior HR leaders in the automotive industry and consider some ways the HR function will evolve over the next 5-10 years plus how DEI efforts can continue to take center stage.
Chris Bjorling and Bill Banham are joined this time by Ebonee Davis Ifeobu, Vice President, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Bridgestone Americas. Among other accolades, Ebonee was listed as one of Engagedly’s list of the Top 100 HR influencers for 2021.
Questions for Ebonee Include:
- You are an experienced senior HR pro in the automotive industry. You’re skilled in Organizational Change and Development, Deferred Compensation, Conflict Resolution, Human Resource Development, and Training Delivery. What are your predictions for ways the HR function will evolve over the next 5-10 years and how will/should DEI efforts continue to take center stage?
- You’ve previously been keen to stress that what defines you is not the summation of your credentials but the summation of your character. Talk to us about showing vulnerability as a leader and the role it plays in team engagement and DE&I efforts.
- Can you make the business case for investment in DEI? How does more investment in DEI translate into higher performance?
