Being an HR Unicorn with Christofer Peterson

Joining us on today's pod episode is the always lovely and brilliant HR unicorn, Christofer Peterson. Christofer lends us her invaluable insights as we dive into DEI in the creative industry.  Listen to how Christofer shifted gears from a native New Yorker to becoming an influential DEI advocate. We dig deeper into her experiences and reflections about the intersection of power, performance and positivity in DEI work.

We explore the importance of gender equity in HR practices and discuss tangible steps such as implementing pay equity reviews and prioritizing financial and career growth to level the playing field for women. We also discuss the challenges of working in a creative agency, the potential for burnout, and the generational differences that shape the industry. We look at how diversity impacts the industry and discuss the need to create a balance between professional and personal lives. 

Note that Felicia and Rachel have a longer intro than normal, discussing the upside-down world of agreeing with people on the other side of the political spectrum, so fast forward 10:37 to get right to the interview if it moves you!
