In her role as Market Leader, Michelle created the Michigan Inclusion Network and the Race @ WTW Michigan team which focus on three key areas: Activating Allies and Advocates, Enhancing the Talent Experience for current and future colleagues and Improving our Communities. These groups have successfully led to office-wide training/education and open and honest conversations among our colleagues.
