Are you willing to go deep into your DEI inquiry?
Taking a good hard look at anywhere that your organization might be perpetuating inequality is not always easy, but if you want to do the deep work of DEI, then that is what’s needed - otherwise it’s just a “diet” version.
In this episode of A Recipe for Transformation, Chrysta goes back to the historical origins of DEI work, outlines some ways in which companies perpetuate inequality and invites a deeper look at company policy, highlighting in particular:
- DEI has its roots in the civil right movement and organizational efforts must be rooted in that quest for justice in order to be truly constructive
- Why “diet DEI” is ineffective and why we need to ask, “What do we need to make right?”
- If we don’t intentionally design workplaces for neurodivergent or disabled people, we make it difficult for them to thrive, so DEI needs to include these people’s needs
- The impact of nepotism on diversity and inclusion and why the willingness to critically examine our hiring policies is so crucial
- Why we need to deeply examine how our company’s policies might be perpetuating inequality and harm
“What do we need to make right? And what do we need to make it right? How has our organization perpetuated oppression?”
