Barry, President of Seramount. “While there is still work to be done to increase representation numbers, we applaud the efforts made in building inclusive workplaces through the implementation of strong career pathing initiatives and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. These policies will enable organizations to attract this critical talent pool.”
