Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we dive deep into the science of inclusion with Paolo Gaudiano, a former aerospace engineer turned DEI expert. Paolo, the author of Measuring Inclusion: Higher Profits and Happier People Without Guesswork or Backlash, breaks down how businesses can quantify the impact of inclusion, avoid common DEI pitfalls, and boost their bottom line. He shares compelling analogies, including why just hiring for diversity isn't enough—and how creating a truly inclusive environment is what leads to real business success.
If you're a leader, entrepreneur, or professional looking to make smarter, data-driven business decisions about diversity, this episode is for you!
 
About the Guest:  
Paolo Gaudiano is the President of Aleria, a DEI tech company, and an adjunct professor at NYU Stern. With a background spanning neuroscience, AI, and corporate strategy, Paolo has dedicated himself to shifting the DEI conversation from soft talk to hard data. His TEDx talk on inclusion was featured on the main TED platform, and his book is a must-read for leaders navigating today's complex workplace dynamics.
 
Key Takeaways:  
✔️ Inclusion is the Foundation – Diversity is the result, but inclusion is the key action businesses must take to improve retention and performance.✔️ Measure Inclusion, Not Just Diversity – Simply hiring more diverse employees doesn’t work if they don’t feel included. Retention and workplace experiences matter.✔️ The Cost of Exclusion is Real – Companies lose money when employees leave due to non-inclusive environments.✔️ Data > Guesswork – Leaders need quantifiable methods to track inclusion, not just policies and quotas.✔️ Avoiding Backlash – The DEI backlash is fueled by misconceptions; businesses must frame inclusion as a business strategy, not just a moral cause.
