Businesses are most influential in solving racism, UPS executive says - Times Free Press
Businesses are the most influential force in America for fighting racism, but employers still need to include more women and minorities in their decision making to improve both their own bottom lines and society as a whole, a top United Parcel Service executive said Monday.
Janet Marie Stovall, executive communications manager for UPS, said the workplace offers the greatest potential to eradicate racial divisions in America. But Stovall, who is the keynote speaker today at the Chattanooga Urban League's Equal Opportunity breakfast, said progress on diversity and inclusion at the top of the country's biggest businesses appears to be stagnating.
