In our latest podcast, we had a power-packed conversation with Susie Silver and Melanie Sanders, both seasoned Senior DEI Consultants deeply embedded in the diversity movement. 💪
Key Takeaways:
🤔 Unpacking Unconscious Bias:
Susie and Melanie emphasized the significance of self-reflection to combat unconscious bias—a crucial step for grounding DEIB efforts.
💡 Mindset Over Training:
DEIB isn't just about training; it's a dynamic mindset and a continually evolving process. Rushing isn't the strategy; it's about fostering a cultural integration that's both enduring and sustainable.
🌟 Getting Started:
The duo laid out a blueprint:
Leadership Intentions: Clear commitment from the top leaders to invest time and resources.
Organizational Assessments: Identifying strengths and weaknesses.
Data-Driven Action: Analyzing data to shape actionable steps.
Regular Check-ins: Keeping a pulse check on progress.
🚀 Integration into Culture:
DEIB shouldn't be an add-on; it needs to be woven into the fabric of an organization, becoming an intrinsic part of its values and mission.
