CREATE HEALTHIER COMMUNICATION BY EMBRACING DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION
Learn how your organization can promote a culture that supports DE&I.
According to McLean & Company’s HR Trends Report for 2021, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) moved up from being ranked 8th last year to 4th this year as a top priority for Human Resources leaders.
Creating a diverse environment goes beyond sourcing tactics and tracking and reporting on DE&I metrics. Organizations must commit to the deeper, strategic and ongoing work to make DE&I part of their corporate DNA.
How can your organization focus on sustainable and meaningful diversity?
Embed inclusive behaviors into corporate values.
Evaluate inclusive leadership behaviors as part of the performance appraisal process and incentive bonus criteria.
Clearly articulate the link between DE&I and organizational goals consistently and frequently.
Identify and address pay gaps or inequities for underrepresented groups.
Provide ongoing communication training and opportunities to engage with diverse teams and coworkers.
Cultivating a diverse organization encourages innovation and creativity, and fosters greater empathy, understanding and communication. Leveraging different points of view helps us avoid group think, creates a speak-up culture, and recognizes the value each of us brings to the conversation.
