Does anyone have any experiences they feel comfortable sharing where DEI was an integral part of the company instead of an after thought/"trending" initiative?

Tactics used at places I've worked:

-a nonprofit offering artist apprenticeships to HS students had hiring quotas for all the neighborhoods in the city.

-DEI officer (in addition to her other role)

-Racial awareness workshops (bi-weekly I think)

-Recruiters specializing in DEI

-Reimbursement for $1k worth of DEI education (books, classes etc)

-Cultural awareness section of the interview process

If DEI isn't embedded in every level of an organization it will fall short. While DEI might live with HR that shouldn't be the only place is exist. It's hard work that some avoid at all cost. Change management and culture shifts are difficult in nature and take time. DEI intiative may take years an many attempts but the work is necessary. A sense of belonging will increase retention and that's what many c-level employees look forward to.

Great question! The school I currently work in is fully dedicated to DEI. From faculty to students our leaders are always finding ways to foster inclusion and belonging.

Specifically, increasing access to college level courses for all students. Providing jobs to students. Having a culture club. Translated materials and messages for family members. Most importantly, having a diversed faculty!

Additional Posts in DEI- Diversity Equity and Inclusion

Got written up by my admin for sending a PSA to teachers to call a trans student by their correct name and pronouns. Says I “didn’t follow the chain of command for Title IX issues.” For context I teach in the south and my admin says they legally “don’t recognize transgenders.” Any advice?

Hey new members! Welcome 🤗. How do you get into DEI? Share your experience.

I have a GSA, but we accept any student who finds themselves on the fringes. We all know that LGBTQIA students are often marginalized, but my kids are loud and proud. Our mission statement is “To give all students a safe place.” I am very proud of my GSA kids.

Could use some help with an awkward dynamic.

My Dept has been tapped to help another dept promote a DEI study. The client dept has hired a consultant in this area. The challenges I see with this consultant's work style:

-dominating conversations
-micromanaging things outside her area
-steering things toward her own promotion over our company's agenda
-people in my dept (mostly white) are visibly uncomfortable and reluctant to interrupt or contradict her (black woman)
