Email: How can we create greater diversity at work? (US)
Becoming an inclusive & diverse organisation is essential to innovation & business success. From employees & consumers to communities & investors, the world is watching. Yet, creating ambitious & realisable representation goals can be challenging.
Apprenticeship & sponsorship programs create new career pathways for non-traditional hires & re-skills people whose jobs have been disrupted. Holding leaders accountable for their diversity contribution is essential. Putting people metrics at par with financial metrics is a game changer.
Without a vibrant culture that supports diversity there’s a real risk of division. Are we actively listening, holding open conversations about diversity? Does our work environment enable people to be their authentic self? Are we taking new recruiting approaches to expand the pool of diverse candidates? Once people join, are our development paths helping them succeed? Are we sharing learnings to multiply the impact beyond our walls?
By setting public goals, holding ourself to a higher level of accountability, we build trust. An investment in a culture of equality helps accelerate progress. Ultimately, we create value while leading with values.
