“Reflecting on and adopting the use of micro-affirmations would be a positive strategy to prevent microaggressions. Micro-affirmations are small acts that foster inclusion, listening, comfort and support for people who may feel isolated or invisible in their environment. Focus on action, not avoidance – create new good behaviours.”

“Tone policing is defined as "a conversational tactic that dismisses the ideas being communicated when they are perceived to be delivered in an angry, frustrated, sad, fearful, or otherwise emotionally charged manner." Managers striving to create a workplace based on equity and inclusion must understand how tone policing silences members of marginalized groups and allows discrimination to persist.” https://www-businessinsider-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.businessinsider.com/how-to-identify-and-help-stop-tone-policing-in-workplace-2020-8?amp

I wholeheartedly disagree with you. Inclusion creates a diverse set of opinions which are incredibly important to bring to the table
So... you have a gay friend. That’s really where you are going to go with this? Do you have a black friend too?
You understand that the fact that you as a straight white man have “never noticed a problem” with inclusion is literally the point and the reason the position is needed, I hope?
A7, do you know why you think minorities have no problems getting into Consulting? It’s because folks in Consulting have pioneered in diversity ahead of other industries-they paved the road for you. Have we done enough? No. In today’s world, people on both sides are becoming more vocal about their perspectives, having a C Inclusion Office is one of the moves to find ways to promote more equality in the workplace. Do you know if it will work out? I don’t know. No one knows for sure. But this must be based on thoughtful research and I believe in it. We just can’t try enough to promote the equality. Just look at this post, and you will realize how many people don’t care about equality. Do you think this people will speak up when there is an inequality? They won’t, because they just can’t see it without being minorities.
So much stupidity in this thread. Entertaining read though. Some of the stuff people post in here about everyone not being a straight white male is super disadvantaged in the United States in 2018 is straight up delusional
A1, I don’t think the argument is that diversity doesn’t help the bottom line (given that it’s not at the cost of talent and the people being hired are actually valuable). It’s that the creation of a c-suite role to drive diversity seems like more of a PR move than a practical role. Just seems to be more pandering to an increasingly hysterical political movement
I feel micro aggressed by Deloitte...
The only way to be inclusive is to fake it like Deloitte... Lmao Chief Inclusion Officer ... What a BS job and title. I wish they would just hire at the same take it or leave it rate if they wanted to be inclusive...
100% no need for a C-suite role. Totally part of HR, which in turn might be elevated to C-suite position if it isn’t already. Has nothing to with its perceived importance, more about organizational effectiveness. It should be top or #1 goal for HR, but indeed for HR. But of course - PR matters too.
Kindergarten rhetoric
All for it if the position grows our bottom line. Would be interesting to see the performance metrics of this role. Diversity is absolutely critical and economically favorable. The more nuanced discussion is potentially sacrificing standards and competence to help faster achieve that goal.
I used to think the role was bullshit too, but the reality is it is needed.
The role is warranted in order to have a person responsible for oversight over hiring practices while attempting to reach a diversity goal/KPI.
Say one HR staff member seems to not include enough diverse interviewees. Well, it would be that person’s job to make sure they are capable of finding candidates and if not, discover ways to attract diverse talent if the HR person is having problems.
OP, not sure where you’re going with this and I missed your trans comment, but as others have said, it ain’t the c-suite.
You and James Damore can go work at McDonalds together or something.
I agree with op and disagree bigly with P1.
I see this as a role for HR from a hiring perspective and something other c-level execs need to keep in mind. Not its own c-level position.
The world has gone mad
This is very confusing to try to read through this thread, considering OP deleted most of his remarks.... but, good work, everyone!
A7 what do the minorities you know as friends, family, or in consulting tell you about that?
@A8 scroll up and read the Fortune article I posted. Your anecdotes don’t count
A2 same type of convo on another thread: an OP wants to know why we can’t have good debates about how to approach the problem that we all know is there. Other posters are like “Um, many people don’t think diversity and inclusion is an actual problem, therefore they do not engage in discussions about solutions.”
A8, then you first need to study what influences an ETF price vs. the broader market and understand if stock price says anything about a company’s actual values. Or, from the basics of Hypothesis, we need to do some controlled test to understand what’s driving the not-as-good performance of this particular ETF. You can’t just draw the connections like this and project that more equality is CAUSING poor financial performance. I have to say such hypothesis is poorly put together without too much thinking.
I am also micro aggressed. I request an apology.
@A6 - It’s not an OP Ed there’s actual research and data to back up the article. If that’s not good enough for you what the hell are doing you in consulting. All we do is based on market research and best practice.
The only rationale I see for questioning having a chief inclusion officer is if OP thinks this role should be part of the CHRO role. Having roles defined will clear up any questions about how this role will work with the other c-suite executives to implement inclusion/diversity strategies
What I want to know which PPED is this who is spending so much time on Fishbowl.
