Read more from Aaron Long in his latest blog for Zest AI where he dives into the importance of participation and how choosing to stay silent can hold back progress in more ways than you think. Every voice has power, and every decision, even inaction, shapes the future. Make your voice heard where it counts the most: https://lnkd.in/gWRfJd7a #Culture #Community #Innovation #Leadership #FinTech #AI
Your voice matters — in the workplace and beyond With election season fast-approaching, I’ve been thinking a lot about representation. How we represent ourselves with our ballots on election days, how we show up for our communities, and how our individual opinions impact the businesses we work for — they’re all important, but I think that they can be undervalued since folks think their voice isn’t being heard. If you’re one of those people who thinks your voice doesn’t make a difference — you’re not alone. But that doesn’t mean it’s true that your voice doesn’t matter. In my latest post for Zest AI, I dive into the importance of participation and how choosing to stay silent can hold back progress in more ways than you think. Every voice has power, and every decision, even inaction, shapes the future. Join the conversation and learn how to make your voice heard where it counts the most, and tell me when your voice has made a difference in the comments! https://lnkd.in/e8KAvGi2 #Leadership #Innovation #CivicEngagement #WorkplaceCulture #MakeYourVoiceHeard

Verity Credit Union’s mission is to “co-create with and advocate for pathways to generational wealth to build thriving and sustainable communities.” However, relying on generic scoring models ensured that qualified members were left out. Verity needed a solution that would stop inconsistencies and bias in their tracks. Hear more from Elisabeth Hayes, Director of Lending, as she discusses her experience adopting Zest AI’s smart, inclusive, and efficient technology to expand access to credit: https://lnkd.in/gv_iKEJ4 #FinancialInclusion #CreditUnions #Lending #AI #FinTech #FairLending
