People end up in the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) space for a variety of reasons. As we’ve noticed and pointed out previously in our series on chief diversity officers (CDOs), many stumble into their careers by happy accident. Others have pursued a career in DEI from the earliest days of their professional careers, while others still, like our focus for today’s installment—Ceridian’s global head of DEI, Donnebra McClendon—find their way to DEI work as an extension of their passion for mentorship, coaching, and employee development.
