"I am extremely humbled to be recognized by the Arizona Society for Human Resource Management as someone who has impacted the HR profession," says Bailey. "I have had the opportunity to work with world-class HR leaders across Arizona and around the world, and I have never considered myself to be at their level. To receive this award and be recognized among this group is a tremendous honor as well as an indication to me and my team that we are making a positive impact on the world."
"As Bailey Strategic Innovation Group navigated the uncertainty of the last year like everyone else we too discovered that we could have just as much of an impact virtually as we can in person," said Eric M. Bailey. "Our society was ready for a new conversation on Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and I'm glad we were able to make ourselves readily available. As we work toward a more inclusive future I look forward to working with these organizations and entities virtually and in-person on their efforts to better Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the workplace."

Everything that you know about the world around you has come from your experiences, education and perceptions. Everything. Humans have an intense psychological belief that what they know about the world is without question, the way the world actually is. This process called “The Illusion of Certainty” is critical because it helps us expedite our understanding of the world but also, it can open us up to discomfort and disbelief when someone shares with us an experience or perception that we haven’t had or cannot imagine.
