Today, we’re talking about inclusion.
Now, this is not the first time we’ve talked about inclusion on the show. It’s a key part of building working cultures and environments that we all want to be a part of.
But it seems that the way organizations are viewing inclusion might be changing. A number of leading diversity officers are reporting pushback against diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, with many organizations shifting their focus to inclusion only.
But is it that a good thing?
Because diversity is a fact, we’re all different. But inclusion is very much a choice. And, as workplaces continue to grapple with the changing face of the DEI landscape, it’s become increasingly clear that inclusion isn’t something that just happens. We have to work hard at it. It needs a proactive approach from everyone involved, top down – it needs intent.
Intentional inclusion is now a growing trend in the DEI space, and we’re going to be putting the spotlight onto it today.
Our panel will be diving into what intentional inclusion means, and the different areas it’s comprised of; how we promote intentional inclusion and the barriers getting in the way; the need to create safe spaces; and the language we use to bring intentional inclusion to life.
