TOPICS
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) work has gained a lot of attention over the past few decades. Organizational leaders, employees, and practitioners are interested in learning how to attract diverse talent and create inclusive environments that will result in positive outcomes for an organization. The core of DEI work is understanding that diversity-the representation of different identity groups in an organization-in itself does not lead to the success of an organization. Rather, fostering a culture and climate of inclusion and belonging that engages and leverages the creativity, strengths, and potential of each employee is what gives has tremendous benefits. Constructing an inclusive culture starts with a strong mission and vision that guides the attitudes, norms, behaviors, and practices of individuals and groups of people functioning in the organization. The essence of equity and inclusion is valuing people and empowering them to contribute their ideas. Furthermore, equity and inclusion involves creating systems within an organization that affords individuals from all walks of life, cultures, identities, and backgrounds the opportunity to thrive.
Organizational Culture
An organization’s culture is a product of its behaviors, values, norms, policies and practices. It creates an environment through which individuals make sense of their experiences. To create an organizational culture that leverages the strengths of its constituencies, effective systems must be put in place and a shared purpose must be clearly articulated. Additionally, there has to be a strong feedback cycle that allows an organization to grow from its errors and keep excelling in areas in which it is doing well. Successful organizational cultures have what Daniel Coyle terms chemistry and family, which is cultivated through intentional programming that allows people to connect and form meaningful relationships. Strong organizational cultures not only encourage vertical communication, between leaders and employees, but horizontal communication, colleague to colleague.
