I do. It does take time and effort though. Just be contribute as much as you can. If they don't take your idea, don't take it personally, just keep at it and they will see you.

Thank you for the advice!

We have a pretty good relationship with them. We talk to them quarterly about what the focus should be. It was pretty much making friends with the head of marketing that was important.

We usually have to follow up with some data to get the marketing team on board - which I understand since DEI sometimes cuts against the 'for-profit' incentives

I echo that it takes a while. I have a cadence of meetings with the team(only 4 people) And I get to know them personally while also keeping them up to date on what’s happening in my office. They like that a lot.

Additional Posts in Diversity & Inclusion

My company (biotech start up >50 employees) are looking to collect diversity data about current employees to provide to candidates when they ask about the company as well as to investors. Any thoughts on whether this is industry standard? What roadblocks to be aware of? Advice on how to go about this as meaningfully as possible?

Hello!

I am being tapped to translate documents at work. I’ve done spot translation audits, and 1 larger Quality assurance document earlier this year, but was recently contacted about a potential large-scale translation initiative for next year.

Has anyone been compensated for these sorts of projects that would be “out of scope” for their role? How do you go about asking for compensation? Have any of you spun out and created translation service side-gigs?

How to attract volunteers to the committee? I want to make sure I get the right people involved in this, to push for changes.

Hi all,

My boss makes jokes about me being from a different country whenever there is a work meeting or a gathering with coworkers, even though he knows where I am from. This usually occurs when I meet new work-related people or for example if I am in a situation that involves ethnic related subjects.

What is this? This is normal?

Stereotyping?
