In recent months we’ve seen much debate, some productive and some not, on the concept of equity. So we, as we often do at the NeuroLeadership Institute, have looked at equity through the lens of neuroscience. In this episode of Your Brain at Work, Janet Stovall, Senior Client Strategist; Jeanine Stewart; Senior Consultant and Facilitator; and Dr. David Rock, Co-founder and CEO unpack the concept of equity. They explain why equity is different from equality (and why that matters), how allyship can increase equity in the workplace, and why equity rounds out diversity and inclusion in the modern corporate landscape. Throughout the discussion, they debunk common misconceptions and offer clarifying science.

As allyship comes into focus this month, we will dedicate our next three episodes of Your Brain at Work to its impact on equity in the workplace.

In Part 1, we’ll talk about how equity rounds out diversity and inclusion in the modern corporate landscape. Our panelists will unpack how equity is different than equality and why this matters. They will also examine why this concept is difficult for many, and how to minimize blame and other negative reactions to this idea.

And of course, given our focus here at The NeuroLeadership Institute, we’ll also discuss the various substrates of equity in the human brain and how it is processed.

Join Dr. David Rock (CEO & Co-Founder, NLI), Janet Stovall (Senior Client Strategist, NLI) and Dr. Jeanine Stewart (Master Facilitator & Consultant, NLI) in a deep dive discussion that will illustrate how the practice of allyship will improve equity at any organization.
