Project Description: This image is a result of a task which involved:
1) Finding images of a diverse workforce that can be used in HR/L&D training materials
2) Ensuring proper adherence to copyright laws and licensure permissions
2) Customizing the image to fit a particular color palette set by the corporation
Equitable representation is a must for materials developed in the HR/L&D space. Research shows that if an employee feels "seen and heard" by their place of work, they are more likely to stay and be loyal to the company. This results in lower turnover and an inclusive work culture.
