TAIQ

Huge thanks and shoutout to Sandra Altiné, Phillip Anderson, and Selena Cuffe for the amazing discussion today at TAIQ's panel discussion on "Driving Change with 360 Solutions for Embedding Inclusion". We've already received lots of positive feedback regarding the holistic and practical perspectives shared by our amazing panelists. Stay tuned for the video recording! In the meantime, here are just a few of the many great takeaways: - it is important to embed DEI into all aspects of an organization/business (including supply chain) - When recruiting, focus on skills not "fit" - Be sure that all steps in the employee life cycle are inclusive, even as early as crafting job descriptions for roles to be filled - provide resources and specific (not ambiguous) feedback to help diverse (and all) talent advance - Accountability, intentionality, and measurability are key to moving the needle - Advancing DEI in an organization is very much a cultural matter - everyone needs to be talking the same language and understand what it's going to take to create change - It's about individual behavior and "allyship in action" - We should build relationships with and educate ourselves about people who are different from us Marlon Young Emma Akue #dei #deib #solutions #culture #inclusionatwork
