One of the biggest changes we've seen with DEI (in a positive direction) is the incorporation of "safe spaces" for open dialogue for employees.

I’ve led those before and I’d love to introduce them at my current org! Thank you for reminding me of that aspect :)

An easy one I can think of is using SMART (specific, measurable, achievable. relevant, and time-bound) to guide your metrics.

Working at a company and they can’t seem to hold on to their female, black and people of color employees. I blinked and 3 of the people who were in my onboarding class were either fired or they left. For context I’ve been in company less than a year and there are people who have been in the company 25yrs. I’m thinking of cutting loose before it gets to my turn.
