Building FAIR Workplaces: Moving Beyond Performative DEI
The call for fair, inclusive workplaces hasn’t faded. But the old playbook — one-off trainings, surface-level commitments, empty language — has. As backlash grows and confidence wanes, the real work is designing workplaces where fairness is a practice and not just a promise.
Lily Zheng, strategist, consultant, and bestselling author of DEI Deconstructed and Fixing Fairness, joined Women of Influence+, for a conversation about the future of workplace equity — and why Lily’s FAIR framework (Fairness, Access, Inclusion, Representation) offers a smarter, more effective path forward.
Lily’s work has been featured in the Harvard Business Review, New York Times, and NPR, offering a clear, data-driven perspective on how leaders can create workplaces that work for everyone. Expect an honest, solution-focused conversation — and tangible strategies you can bring back to your organization.
