color, disabled people, neurodivergent people, LGBTQIA+ people, etc.) which are either not
represented within the organization, or not fully included in the organizational culture in some
way?

interviews in light of what the course has covered so far. Do you see any of the behaviors or approaches
weve considered in their answers? Do you see room for improvement within the interviewees
organizations? Have you learned anything new, including any new or different approaches to diversity
and inclusion, from these interviews?
