Joy Chen is an Asian American executive who has achieved a lot in her career.
At 31, Chen became the deputy mayor of Los Angeles, where she helped create new programs that expanded access to skills and jobs. She’s authored two books and has served as CEO of a leadership training company whose courses, speeches and videos teach leadership skills to people in China.
Chen, now CEO of the Multicultural Leadership Institute in Los Angeles, spoke about the unique challenges that Asian American workers face on Oct. 26 at the SHRM INCLUSION 2022 conference in San Diego.
“As HR professionals, the DE&I [diversity, equity and inclusion] challenges of Asian Americans are fundamentally different than those of other groups,” Chen said. “We must enable them to succeed.”
