Welcome to
Harvest
Harvest is a blog for leaders looking to better understand our changing workforce.
Our CEO, Dr. Nikki R. Lanier, and our VP of Client Engagement and Learning, Jaeden Thomas, bring together a mixture of thought leadership and heart-felt reflections on topics ranging from rest, to unpacking the strategies that should undergird the principles of DEI, to risk mitigation, employee engagement, and building and sustaining multicultural teams.
You’ll get a candid understanding of why this work matters to us so deeply and why beliefs, not actions, are at the heart of all the work we do with clients.

From Navigating Exclusion to Authoring Inclusion: Why Every Organization Needs a 2045 Plan
We are fast approaching an economic and cultural tipping point.
By the year 2045, the United States will become a majority-minority nation. That means people of color—particularly Black and Hispanic communities—will make up not only the workforce majority, but also the consumer majority. Yet most organizations are still operating with assumptions, structures, and strategies rooted in yesterday’s demographics.
2045 is no longer “far off.” It’s 20 years away—two business cycles. The time to reimagine our workplaces, policies, and leadership pipelines is not someday. It is now.
