Hey guy, I have this book out. Wondering if you could help me spread the word. It teaches you how to write KPI’s for an IDB perspective. I am in the market to switch career back to my original so I am open to assist especially non-profits address their data issues. Anyway guys if interested send me a DM. https://www.amazon.com/Key-Performance-Indicator-Development-Guide/dp/B0B5K9W5JC

Keeping it "so far"
All talk, whiter than ever, no diversity whatsoever in the c suite, but celebrating the fact that there’s gender equity
I'm in the same kind of place. That said, there are conversations about doing more and doing better, I've just not seen much. We have a more visibly diverse leadership team on the Director-level than most in our industry, but all of the c-suites are white. We have an incredibly queer team, but most aren't out except to the rest of us queer folk, because we need psychological safety first. So there are conversations happening at the top, but the real action is coming from the bottom.
I've been pleasantly surprised to see that it has been genuine, not just talk but action too. I'm hopeful for the future of our companies, at least those that are genuinely prioritizing people.
I find that tech companies have a harder time keeping DEI promises. That is, if they ever made a promise in the first place.
Definitely continuing to grow it 🫶
My former employer who I get updates on from current friends who I used to work with created an entire DE&I team in summer 2020. The entire team was let go recently and were told that they had actually been term of project employees (they weren’t told this before) and that they had completed the project. They did the DE&I and the company was perfect because of it so they didn’t need them anymore. They then sent out a company wide self congratulatory “we did it!” email. Unreal.
There is no such thing as one & done. I hope they learn their company is better for everyone when they have robust DEI 🙏
All talk, they even got rid of the Chief Diversity Officer. 🤦♂️😂
McCann CCO said DEI training was “fucking boring” on a training call in the chat, deleted it and then faced no repercussions so does that answer the question?
Looks like he just got demoted
Just all talk! New company's DE&I initiative is a cheap imitation of my old company!
All talk and as racist as ever with leadership telling race jokes and using slurs in daily conversation.
Thank you so much!!
They have a very very long way to go and with a preference to only hire managers in Utah, the likelihood of major improvements in that space is slim.
Mostly talk
Making strides - definitely not perfect but I can tell that leadership is trying, even if the results aren’t there yet.
Definitely holding up on anything that doesn’t have to do with race!
