Episode 24: Understanding Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion In The Corporate Space

A webinar on how personal experiences and professional duties can intersect with getting involved in diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Holly Noon will be sharing her personal and professional journey with DEI and recommending ways to get started in your own DEI journey. Recommendations For Taking Action: - Define your values, prioritize humanity - Think beyond diversity, to inclusivity - Acknowledging there is a problem and DEI work is necessary - Use your brand for impact I.e., Organizations like Target, or Old Navy donating money and/or creating marketing ads around the Black Lives Matter movement and promoting the importance of diversity. - Checks and balances are in place to make sure any initiatives put in place are being worked toward or assessed to determine what resources are needed to reach the goal. For example, if the company plans to have more diversity in management within the next 3 years, what steps have been taken? What still needs to happen? - Take the initiative to search beyond social media as education and awareness is key - Do seek out support from your human resources team or office of diversity and inclusion - Focus on Initiatives that Change Root Causes About: So Please Understand posts weekly content on trending topics, personal stories, interviews, and collaborations with other content creators.
