No longer is it enough to schedule annual unconscious bias workshops and/or celebrate cultural months and holidays. When it comes to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) within an organization, the term can be used to describe the various strategies, initiatives, programs, policies, etc. that foster representation and participation of individuals from a variety of backgrounds. If you really want to make an impact, you need a comprehensive, holistic strategy that drives toward fully integrating DEI into every part of your organization, making it an active part of your overall business strategy.
From our experience, we've identified seven frameworks that are critical to developing a holistic Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) strategy. These frameworks include:
