Top Diversity & Inclusion Officer
Malia Turner
Epiq Global
Malia Turner, senior global diversity, equity and inclusion manager at Epiq Global, is leveraging data and employee feedback to inform DEI efforts at the 10,000-employee legal services provider.
Turner developed a yearlong interactive inclusive leadership training program for Epiq’s senior leaders and human resources department. Last year she oversaw a series of leadership listening sessions for employees.
She led efforts to create a DEI committee at the company and formalized policies for creating employee resource groups. Turner chairs Epiq’s first LGBTQ+ employee resource group, called Epiq Pride.
The company credits her work with reducing turnover and increasing representation among women and people of color in the company's workforce. Turner hosts the podcast “DEI is Epiq,” which offers recorded discussions with colleagues and industry experts on the best paths for creating diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace.
Turner “is not just a leader but a mentor, a role model and a champion for change,” said Olivea Holley, Epiq's director of document review services operations and chair of the company's DEI committee.
Before her current role, Turner was a design operations manager at Epiq, where she started in 2019.
