Equity through Diversity, Inclusion, Access & Belonging (DEIAB)
Never has there been a more pertinent time in our global climate to understand and incorporate these practices into our organizations and workplace. More frequently, we are hearing organizations tout diversity as a key strength; and recently “DEI” has come under attack, for reasons that only prove that there is a huge gap related to what DEI means, how to apply related DEI Frameworks, and how the correct application of DEI benefits us all. As organizations become more diverse, many leaders aren’t really sure about how to move dialogue, intentions, and percentages through to the sort of action that shifts organizational culture for the better, and fosters a climate of inclusion, access, and belonging, for the purpose of creating true impact. For many organizations the desire and goal of diversity isn’t translating into the reality of an environment or organizational climate that empowers people of different backgrounds to thrive or to be fully engaged in ways that encourage mission- advancing perspectives and experiences. To further delay the meaningful work involved in ensuring that organizations succeed in their efforts to strengthen diversity, equity, and inclusion focus areas is a detriment to our employees, other key stakeholders, and the organization at large.
