Take a look at this approach to DEIB. we are all humans with different life experiences that impact how we see and interact with others. What assumptions are you carrying that influences your connections?

I couldn’t resist… Scary as it is, this is 100% accurate to conversations I’ve witnessed. Taking part in DEIB efforts shouldn’t mean anything beyond 3 core principles:1. Providing #culturalawareness and appreciation to others social identities 2. Creating pathways for #equity in the workplace 3. Recentering #collaboration for everyone’s different voices so that the entire organization can operate optimallyBusinesses that automatically say “no” to DEIB, are saying “no” to organizational growth. Diversity in the workplace inherently means the best of the most different experiences weighing in. Why isn’t this something you would celebrate or invite? As #socialimpactleaders we need to remember that part of the education process of #DEIB begins with…💡HOW it relates to one’s organization.

🌍🤝 The discussion about fostering welcoming and inclusive environments is more important than ever. The DEI acronym is evolving, incorporating 'B' for belonging, giving rise to a new approach known as DEIB.Belonging isn't just a trendy term; it's a fundamental human necessity, rooted in both biology and society. It's the result of recognizing your significance.This critical aspect is reshaping the way companies, educational institutions, and all organizations think about the idea of acceptance. Let's make it our priority to establish environments where everyone genuinely feels like they belong. 🙌💙#DEIB #belonging

Two hidden costs to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) training exist: 1) The loss of connection between people owing to friction created in engagement sessions, often resulting from differences in world view and disagreement. 2) Reprisal or punishments for sharing vulnerably, either saying 'the wrong thing', or sharing "too much" and being seen as "ungrateful" or "not a team player". Both of these exist as potentials in all DEIB training. It is baked into the DNA of sharing human experiences from different perspectives. But these costs can be mitigated if the training is well designed and effectively implemented.The Inclusion Challenge, our flagship DEIB training programme has been designed to take the burden off of colleagues who share their stories of privilege and oppression by including real-life stories of our Fireside Participants.

In the journey towards fostering diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) within our organizations, it is essential for leaders to understand the distinction between information and knowledge. Information equips us with data and statistics related to DEIB. However, knowledge is the key that unlocks the true potential of information by recognizing the lived experiences of different identity groups in our organizations and elevates the humanity of the people behind the numbers. Knowledge requires empathy, cultural competence, and an ongoing commitment to learning and unlearning. As leaders, it is our responsibility to transform the information we receive into knowledge that drives inclusive action. #deib #sharedhumanity

Overcoming these challenges requires dedication, education, and an unwavering commitment to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment. 💪🌟🔗 Resistance to Change: Pushback against altering established norms.🕵️ Unconscious Bias: Prejudices hinder fair decision-making.🌐 Lack of Awareness: Insufficient understanding of DEIB's importance.🏛️ Inconsistent Leadership: Absence of committed top-level support.📊 Lack of Data: Inadequate metrics to track progress.🔌 Limited Resources: Scarce time, budget for DEIB efforts.🌎 Cultural Clash: Different values clash in diverse teams.🔍 Fear of Discomfort: Uncomfortable discussions, avoidance.⚖️ Tokenism Traps: Superficial efforts, not genuine inclusion.🤝 Resistance to Education: Reluctance to engage in DEIB training.

If your DEIB trainings and initiatives are only focused on improving work performance, you have missed the heart of DEIB work. Just as important, if not more important, is creating spaces where people can build authentic and meaningful relationships, have their hearts and minds expanded, and partake in conversations where they can share who they are, what's important to them, their struggles, their humanity, and lend support to one another.#diversityequityinclusionbelonging #DEI

Time for today's service highlight from P.A.S.S. Consulting, LLC: Diversity, Equity, and InclusionAt P.A.S.S., we believe Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) is a foundational component that should be at the core of every environment. DEIB as a foundational component, influences how we as people craft a space that accepts and encourages differences amongst individuals. Through these differences this space serves as a place where we can learn and grow in our understanding of how others navigate through the world. Understanding of these differences can also lead to innovate approaches in mission and vision delivery, stakeholder engagement, funding initiatives and more. The services provided in this area range from the development and implementation of DEIB practices, regarding the operational and strategic aspects of the organization and/or program, to the evaluation of existing DEIB practices.#consulting #diversityequityinclusion #strategicthinking

A key challenge in DEIB initiatives is ensuring the full spectrum of voices is heard, especially those from underrepresented groups. Effective facilitation is essential in overcoming this challenge, creating spaces where everyone feels empowered to contribute. We're curious to learn from your experiences: How do you ensure diverse participation in discussions and decision-making processes within your organization?#DiversityAndInclusion #Facilitation #VoiceEquity
