Promote Diversity in the Workplace
Promoting diversity in the workplace requires moving past just awareness and developing a thorough strategy to mobilize leaders, activate habits, and reimagine talent management systems. NLI is focused on helping your businesses move past awareness to start changing behaviors and embedding habits by focusing on these four components:
Mobilize Leaders
Leadership buy-in is essential to driving diversity initiatives in your workplace. As organizational role models, workplace leaders can help make diversity a priority and allocate resources to achieve it. Some strategies for mobilizing your workplace leaders include leadership coaching, 1:1 sessions, diversity and inclusion research briefings, listening circles, employee engagement surveys, and town halls.
