But as important as this initiative is to an organization’s growth, it could be done wrongly. You will hear some organizations claim that they have undertaken it, but it is ineffective. That is what happens when you focus too much alone on the D aspect of Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity because it is easier for people to see the “D.” Oftentimes, organizations will make their recruitment program accommodate people of diverse cultures without making adequate provision for how to make them feel inclusive and equitable.
Sometimes an organization may delegate their DEI initiative plan to a leader who is ill equipped in; capability, capacity or resources, who will eventually burn out trying to balance it with other responsibilities.
Organizations can also fail to include their C-level executives in their DEI plan. Making the plan self-destruct from the initial stage. How can a plan that does not bring in the decision-makers succeed? Don’t have to be a victim of a failed DEI initiative. Why XX Matters is here to help.
