You don’t need NEW metrics focused on ‘DEI things’. Rather, use the metrics you have currently about things that matter to your organization, look for differentiated outcomes based on demographics, and address them!

This describes countless times I've missed meals with family, or worked on vacation, etc.

The worst part? Sometimes it's not the organizational culture... it's the expectations that you've learned to accept, and eventually that you put upon yourself even if no-one else does.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

In burnout cultures, people are judged by the sacrifices they make. Hobbies, vacations, and even family time are viewed as distractions to penalize.

In healthy cultures, people are judged by the commitments they keep. Interests outside work are seen as passions to celebrate.

Gallup’s newest research about diversity, equity, and inclusion jumps straight to the heart of the matter: organizations need to do more than just check the box: we need to change the culture.

An excellent article succinctly summarizing the key problems with calling oneself an ally, and reminders for how to actually demonstrate that you’re in the fight for equity and equality for the right reasons.

This is such an eye-opening article!Talking about the business case for DEI gives a bad impression, and talking about DEI being the right thing to do is only a little better. Simply stating DEI as a core value to the organization is the sweet spot.

Just 3 years after graduation, university students see significantly different incomes for the SAME JOBS, with the SAME DEGREES, from the SAME UNIVERSITIES, depending on their gender.

We still have a long road ahead in the quest for equity at work.

An excellent article highlighting key questions to ask about your organization’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts. Companies must truly invest in DEI as a business need, not just appoint a DEI person and call it done. Do better. Be better. https://t.co/cyMQedSlGN

More than half of workers report feeling overworked, and over a third say that they are exhausted at work.

But is the problem that employers are asking too much? Or are workers being tasked with the wrong work, or in the wrong conditions or environment?

I've officially joined the #greatresignation. Two weeks ago I announced to the faculty at work that I was resigning my position as the Assistant Dean at the end of this academic year. Next stop: bringing my consulting and coaching to ITALY! Who's going to visit me first in 2023?

Does your strongest candidate really NEED that degree? Maybe... but maybe not. https://t.co/CwKjEYkqaE

Actions you can take to be more #inclusive:

➡️ Seek out ideas from people who may not look like you.

➡️ Ban the word "fit" from hiring discussions.

➡️ Adopt a no-interruption rule in #meetings.

Small actions can add up and create a big impact. 💥 https://t.co/iNxEIJ45Rw

The last twelve months have proven that we do have the technology to effectively work remotely, if we have the organizational culture and the commitment from managers and workers alike. https://t.co/ru2jcw7z2h

This week the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Equality Act, a federal law prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Opponents argue that this could infringe on religious liberties at work. Next up: a Senate vote. https://t.co/aAQWKeNWjO

Employers, take note: not only CAN you establish rules for workplace behavior when employees are working from home... you SHOULD, because otherwise you may be opening yourself up for liability based on what they’re doing while ‘at work’ for you.

Employers must be careful to foster an environment for respect and professionalism for people with differing political views, while insisting on compliance with organizational policies and with the law.

From COVID forcing leaves of absence and working remotely, to U.S. Supreme Court rulings prohibiting LGBT discrimination, to more state laws allowing marijuana use, 2020 changed the employment law landscape quite a bit. Here’s looking ahead to 2021.

I'm admittedly something of an Apple fanboy, but as an educator who teaches about HR and management, I was fascinated by this exploration of functional vs. divisional structures, and collaborative decisions by those with the most expertise.

I was having this very conversation with a group of DEI practitioners recently!

Being the best leader you can be includes realizing when you’re NOT being your best, identifying what you need in order to be better, and asking for it.

The most tantalizing findings in here are not about policies, but around students self-censoring themselves out of fear of negative reactions.

When did we stop being able to attack ideas instead of people? Can we not disagree without being disagreeable?
