For your information, I’ve completed the exercise with my responses below.
THREE Lessons Learned from Planning and / or Implementing DEI
- DEI means different things to different people. Take the time to define and ensure everyone understands these terms, their importance and their value.
- Changing biases does not happen overnight. Be patient.
- It is equally important to celebrate both the large AND small successes along your company’s DEI journey.
TWO DEI Resources (e.g., Tools, Training, Experts, Sites, Forums) You’ve Found Highly Useful
- CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion(website)
- The Forum on Workplace Inclusion(website)
ONE Question You’d Like Your Peers to Weigh In On
- If you are being asked to tie your DEI efforts to business outcomes or to create any metrics to support your DEI efforts, how are you doing so?
