I’ve advocated getting the lower levels (analyst, sr.analyst, consultants) more heavily involved in the planning and ideation process. I expressed that this falls on all levels and if the company says that it’s serious about developing dynamic leaders then D&I support should flow from the bottom up and be supported from the top down.

Yes but tbh man, i just think it’s meant to bicker. Like do you honestly realistically think that the corporations we work for are truly going to make something shake? Do you know how many people at PwC came here to slander the CEO because he said that if you’re ok with the George floyd issue it’s BLM you should leave? Boyyy they ate this man alive. So nah i really think it’s counterproductive. It starts with individuals

What are some things that you are hoping to see? My company has recently started ours and while we have some good momentum at the moment, I don't want to have the same feelings that you do.

Along with many of the answers already given, how do you advocate for other underrepresented groups that may not have an affinity group without your company.

I’ll also add once you develop your metrics creating KPI’s to assure the goals stay on schedule.

In a specific market unit our I&D lead put forth 5 pillars that are trying to specifically aim to address the racism and lack of Black diversity- Sponsorship/Advocacy, external community impact, ERGs, education and HR. Don’t know about the other market units tho

Recruiting, retention, promotion and sponsorship / mentionship with metrics and targets. I think all of it hinges on executives being held accountable and strong transparency. Also pushed for ERG funds and stronger integration between the ERG, D&I and HR. Haven't seen much action though.

So I recently started a position with Fox. When it was presented to me in interview, I was told I would be working aligned with Fox Sports & Entertainment, not so much News.

Financially, it’s the best position I been in. But mentally in this environment, it’s depressing & slow. Nothing innovative or engaging. What would you do?

Hey fellow fishies! There have been some questions lately about men lurking in this bowl.

If any men have misrepresented their gender in order to gain access, please flag the user and/or reach out to a bowl leader or Fishbowl support asap! Definitely want to make sure this space remains safe and private so we can continue to share freely 🙏

What do you wish design students would learn in school to ease the transition into needs of business? I have seen an increasing need for more education/inclusion/overlap into other areas of business that depend on design teams so they understand what goes into the process. As well as design teams into the other business teams. This would alleviate tensions and improve quality product delivery due to the major miscommunications that occur so frequently.

You CAN be that leader that people want to work with. 1st, self assessment is required. Be honest: As a leader,have you engaged in/accepted Attribution Bias with a dash of gender &/or race bias? (See the pic) This is something we all need to be aware of as we lead our teams, provide performance feedback, & model the behaviors we'd like to see more of on our teams. Be on the lookout for Attribution Bias in yourself & on your team. It's a hindrance to creating a high-performing, inclusive culture.
