Inside Voice: How Companies Are Navigating DEI Internally

In this episode, Michael Maslansky, Lee Carter, and special guest Michelle Mahony from Daggerwing, dive into the evolving role of language in business, with a special focus on internal communications and DEI. As companies face external pressures and shifting political climates, how do they navigate the tension between staying true to their values and adjusting their language? They explore the real-world challenges internal comms and HR teams face when words like “diversity” and “equity” come under scrutiny—and what happens when companies change course, stay firm, or try to find middle ground.
