Diversity

As we move beyond the pivotal moments the last few years have brought us, now more than ever employees are holding their companies accountable when it comes to diversity, equity and inclusion—not just in February, but all year long.

Language is ever evolving. In the history of language, words have emerged, disappeared and completely changed in meaning. And today, we are at a pivotal time in history.

Experts say leaders will need to clearly define their strategy and strictly follow it to get through all of this successfully. In doing so, some will try to go back to how things were pre-pandemic. Others will want to continue pushing in the new directions that have opened up over the last three years.

We all know conflict can be uncomfortable—and arguably even more so in the workplace as we navigate power balance, hierarchical dynamics, and employee relationships.

What does it take for managers to leverage the power of these diverse teams? And, how can you ensure they get the support they need to create an environment that makes employees want to stay? The answer is in cultivating inclusive management practices throughout your organization.

A job description and the hiring process are often the first opportunities a prospective employee will have to glimpse your company culture and the emphasis you place on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

In the sixth year of the Workplace Learning Report, change is the only constant. LinkedIn calls these times the Great Reshuffle—a period unlike anything in the history of work.

To be effective, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) starts with creating awareness and establishing a broad understanding of how employees can help cultivate a more inclusive work environment.

While many of your employees will embrace the idea of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), it’s not unusual for even the most inclusive organizations to face some pockets of resistance.

As you embark on the journey to becoming a more inclusive manager, remember that there will be progress as well as setbacks.
