The chief inclusion officer at Dow will join our lineup of speakers at the For All Summit in Las Vegas, April 8-10.
How will artificial intelligence technology affect efforts to create inclusion and belonging at work?
Some, like Alveda Williams, chief inclusion officer at Dow, see the potential for AI to improve equity in the workplace. Williams is just one of the speakers who will join us in Las Vegas on April 8-10 at our For All Summit™ to share insights and strategies driving great workplace culture in 2025.

Williams spoke with us for a rapid-fire Q&A that we are sharing as part of our “How I Got Here” series, profiling leaders at high-trust workplaces. See what Williams has to say about AI, her favorite career advice, and more.

How do you think AI will change your work? Are you excited for those changes?
Williams: AI has the potential to transform inclusion, diversity, and equity (ID&E) work in many exciting ways (for example, enhanced data analysis, bias detection in talent practices, tailored training programs, enhanced employee experience, and more). However, it requires careful oversight to avoid reinforcing biases and to ensure that it promotes fairness and inclusion.
What’s your favorite career advice you’ve ever received? Why?
Williams: “Bloom where you are planted.” Exceptional performance and impact delivery where you are builds credibility and opens doors for where you want to be.
What book or podcast would you recommend to our community of leaders trying to build better workplaces?
Williams: The “Better” podcast is a good place to start! Many of the practices that make for great workplaces are company- or industry-agnostic. Learning from other leaders and companies is an easy way to get practical ideas for your workplace.
Catch Alveda Williams’ appearance on the “Better” podcast from Great Place To Work, where she talks about winning strategies for employee resource groups.
What about your job makes you excited to come to work each day?
Williams: I get most excited knowing that the work I do every day is making a meaningful difference for our people, our business, and our society.
If you could wave a magic wand and change one thing about how workplaces operate in the world today, what would it be?
Williams: I would imagine a workplace where the role of chief inclusion officer is not needed because (1) inclusion is the lived experience for every employee and (2) everyone, regardless of their background or difference, has equal access to opportunity to contribute their best.
