Diversity and Inclusion Best Practices to Focus on in 2020
How does an organization's mission, efforts, and practices support a diverse workplace? Workplace diversity has become one of the main challenges and top priorities. This article will discuss several Diversity and Inclusion practices you can focus on in 2020.
15 Ways To Improve Diversity And Inclusion In The Workplace
Mention diversity in the workplace, and you'll generally get a positive response from executives. That's because most of them understand the many benefits of a diverse workforce. They know innovation and terrific customer service are two key ways any company can stay competitive in tough markets and show consistent revenue growth. However, diversity in the workplace does not necessarily mean inclusivity in the workplace. Inclusivity is the key to maintaining (not just creating) diversity in the workplace. Here are the top 15 ways you can support inclusion and diversity in your workplace.
Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace: Are Employers Doing Enough?
Organizations worldwide are actively partaking in tough conversations around racism, and its impact in the workplace. These conversations have prompted many businesses to commit to actionable steps toward making their workplace - and society as a whole - more equitable. But are organizations making a difference? Or are they merely just trying to score PR points? This article will discuss Diversity and Inclusion efforts in the workplace, where employers are failing, and steps organizations can take to get the ball rolling in their quest for an authentically diverse and inclusive workplace.
3 Requirements for a Diverse and Inclusive Culture
There has been a drastic increase in awareness of the many challenges organizations face in identifying and truly understanding the unique differences among people. Diversity and inclusion have been brought to the forefront of workplace dialogue. However, many people have merged diversity and inclusion into one rather than recognizing them as two completely different things. Gallup's research indicates recognizing that diversity and inclusion are very different things is the first step in the journey toward creating a uniquely diverse and inclusive workplace culture. This article will share Gallup's three requirements that must be present in an organization's Diversity and Inclusion strategies.
How to Develop a Diversity and Inclusion Initiative
Employers use diversity and inclusion initiatives for compliance obligations and to increase the overall bottom line with a more diverse workforce. Developing a diversity and inclusion initiative involves data collection, strategy, implementation of the organization's Diversity and Inclusion efforts, and evaluation of the plan. This article will provide actionable steps employers can take in developing a diversity and inclusion initiative.

What Our JobSeekers Say About Our Career Services
Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter
If you’re a loyal reader, you likely know I’m a big fan of networking! I spend a lot of time helping my clients craft Personal Value Propositions, create a networking strategy, and review informational interview best practices. But how can you ensure that your networking goes beyond one phone call, virtual coffee meeting, or email? Easy — keep in-touch! Here are some ideas for keeping the conversation going:
- Send a thank you email and note your biggest take-aways from the conversation (ideas that resonated, advice that spoke to you, or actions you plan on taking as a result of the meeting)
- Ask how you can be a resource — spreading the word about their organization, connecting them with people in your network, and volunteering your time.
- Send a check-in email a few months later - share updates about a new position, a decision you’ve made around your career, or to ask how they’re doing.
- Follow them on LinkedIn and engage with their content if it resonates with you
Thoughtful follow-up is an excellent way to show the individual that you value their time, expertise, and relationship. Need support with your networking and job application strategy? Our team can help! Check out WorkMonger’s Career Coaching services to learn more.
