DEI Stands At A Fork In The Road; You Must Try Harder

In this episode of Inclusion Unscripted, join Margaret Spence as she discusses Improving DEI Programs managers and leaders for underserved employees and communities.

2022 The Year of Possibilities – What will we do to live up to what’s possible? The last 24 months have taught us that we must do more to fill the gap for underserved employees and communities. This program is a call for renewed action – leave your safe zone. If we are to deliver on inclusion, we must do more than we are doing now – Try Harder! When you are at your best, most inclusive self, who do you want to become?

8 Questions to Improve DEI Programs

What 8 Questions should organizations ask to help them improve DEI Programs – Margaret Spence discusses the following questions in this episode:

  • What are the pressing issues causing your employees to question your commitment to DEI?
  • Can they trust you to follow through?
  • What are the seeing and doing gaps that we have missed?
  • What are our ambitions, and how do they align with our actions?
  • How have you failed us, and how can you do better?
  • What are the investments you’ve made, and what are the results we’ve seen?
  • Should we see DEI as a failure, or can we see it as a success?
  • Are you acting in the interest of all of your people?

We are saying you try harder – you haven’t tried hard enough. To our allies, we want you to try harder.
