What do you wish you knew before starting your career in Diversity & Inclusion?

What do you think:

Teachers should/should not discuss their opinions and ideas around sexuality, gender, and religion with students.

From the moderator, for discussion.

Should white males be concerned that current focus on diversity will lead to negative results

If Yes, why and under what conditions
If No, why not?

Looking for idea driven copy writers, ACD and CD level for health & wellness accounts. Not typical pharma projects, with lots of opportunities to work on meaningful assignments that address diversity and inequities.

NY based is preferred but open to fully remote too.

I have been experiencing a lot of subtle bullying and gaslighting from my company. Its the oddest thing because I know its gaslighting but I almost try to explain it away in a sense like maybe thats not it and etc. My company lacks diversity so I ma not sure if that’s why but its been odd and getting worst every day. I have started looking for other positions that are remote but haven’t found anything that is the right fit. Any advice would be great. I am the only BW on my team out of almost 40

Really looking for a way to turn around a toxic building culture with staff to staff bullying, cliques/social isolation, hard feelings on big topics (racism, non acceptance of gender identity). Last year the staff polarized with the lead bully whom I helped leave. And the lead gossip (who was my secretary) that gained their sympathy and turned them against me. She also left. Now I need to regain trust and eliminate unacceptable teacher behaviors. Open to any and all advice.

Best and worst experience relating to diversity? For me. Best: winning an agency competition for a diversity related thought piece. Worst: reporting a sociopath creep and nothing being done about it.

I want to know from HR or senior management that do you offer less to female candidate provided she has same skills as a male candidate?
Does in IT industry gender doesn't impact compensation?

Does your agency have a Diversity and Inclusion program? And do you have any PoC in leadership?

Do you think diversity training actually works? I can't tell if it's just a way to tick a liability box or if it's actually effective.

Thanks for doing this Paul! I'm pretty interested in data on this. Do some states have teachers w/ more student loans than others? Is there a gender gap?

Any WIT in Boston? I'm interviewing for a really exciting opportunity in downtown and would be relocating there after it's safe. Would love to hear about any groups or resources!

Bonus points for intersectionality and welcoming of LGBT individuals (I'm a gender non-conforming butch lesbian). Bonus bonus points for a group that isn't all white.

Also where should I be looking to live? I heard Boston has a lot of racism issues and is very segregated...

Help! I'm a Sped teacher (ELA inclusion) that comes home to a High Functioning Autistic 9 yr old with ADHD and a slew of sensory issues that has sworn off soap 🤢. I've made visual check list for bathroom processes, bought timers, tried different bars and body washeds with net sponges, towels and even invested in a pricey showerhead with multiple settings. His set of needs are out of my wheel house. I need suggestions before I just pack up and move out *sarcasm but at the end of my rope*.

Hello guys I am new hear I hope to get some consulting gigs for Research around SRHR particularly in the Southern Africa region, I have 3 years experience in Programs implementation around SRH and gender

Hello! Does anyone know of any openings for diversity and inclusion drivers/promoters in India? I joined as an HR analyst at Accenture as a fresh graduate 3 months ago but this is not really the role I was looking for. I have quite a lot of experience in diversity and inclusion related themes. Any leads/suggestions/advice would be appreciated!
Location: India

Do people in studios get paid substantially more than other offerings or practice (exploring to switch, thus asking)? what is the average consultant income bracket in studio? I was also wondering if anyone aware of gender centric wage disparity in DUSI?

I love my job and the people I work with, but there’s one thing that really bothers me: the lack of diversity. Sometimes when I walk into the office and see everyone else around me as the only POC, it feels kind of weird. I don’t think anyone here has ever said anything racist or sexist to me personally, but I don’t feel comfortable talking about these issues with anyone because they might take it personally and then things could get awkward between us.

Would it be wild if I added my preferred gender pronouns to my signature? (He/his)

Are companies still providing 70-100 percent hikes on job switch. I am in Data analysis domain and recently put down my papers in deloitte.

I just need 5 nights for titanium, how can I get them other than staying,

Any thoughts on Vivaldi Partners (Brand Consulting)? Looking for insights regarding culture, pay, projects, etc.

Quit and apply full time? I know the climate, but man... am I done.

Has anyone recovered from chronic GERD? Or you just learnt to live with it?

Looking for a second job (remote). My main job is in person but I’ll be hybrid in about 2 weeks. Anyone know of a way that I can work both at the same time? What jobs may fit into this? I’m very organized and can keep up with both. Also, I’m currently learning R and beginning python (this was suggested for the masters I’m starting in Fall 2023 in Data Science and Business Analytics) current job as a RA pays trashy but the perks/connects are great and it pays for my schooling. Any suggestions?

If you had worked your ass of and saved enough to become a millionaire by 34, would you keep grinding till 2 or 4 or get a less stressful job and love that frugal life?

Is there a point to disclosing a relationship between two staff who are in different lines of service? Never reached the point of reviewing each other’s work, but met on the same team (now no longer on the same team or office). In the beginning, neither of us wanted to say anything premature just in case it didn’t work out. Since it’s grown more serious, we’d be more comfortable disclosing it. But is that necessary?

Any U.K. based freelancers on here that can shed some light on IR35? Just reading up on it and I’m totally lost. Thanks in advance

Currently looking for Tech consulting/ Implementation consultant/ privacy roles in London. I have both CIPP/E and CIPM.

Guys how to invest 2.5 lakhs monthly? Any roadmap or you have been following? I have done sip of 30k in index small caps funds. Any advice will be helpful.

Anyone have a Solomon ticket for sale?

I’m asking a genuine question here. What is the rationale for having a content strategist vs a really good copywriter and brand strategist? Can someone explain this to me? What do they do that’s different?

What is the CTC range for in-house Senior Analyst ?

About to move in with my SO (not getting married yet), what is your best advice?

Can someone recommend sunscreen that doesn't leave white streaks?

i wanna stalk my interviewers profile for intel

I'm in desperate need of tips to get genuine buy in from our predominantly white, male senior leadership to create a more inclusive environment. As is often the case, middle management and below is very diverse and then at Director+ it gets much more homogeneous. So far any real initiatives get shot down in favor of performative actions to post on SM. Is this just how it is, or can we try something different?

Working on introducing ERGs at a company- how did your company decide the first ERGs to start with? How did they communicate the start of ERGs and roll out the structure?

Do you think diversity training actually works? I can't tell if it's just a way to tick a liability box or if it's actually effective.

How do you deal with your “mentor” being threatened by your performance and gatekeeping information from you? Then turning around and giving you shit for not knowing things… but they don’t tell you anything and there is no way for you to know. My learning and development is being hindered and I’ve felt this for a long time, but coworker just confirmed this is the case. Now that I know I’m not “crazy” for thinking this, how should I approach this?

Would love to know if anyone has any ERG/BRG resources that have worked for them!

I’ve been given a D&I project for my firm which is ideal because it has always been a passion of mine. In the process I’ve noticed that no one is actually committed to this cause. How do you make management see that it’s not just about writing a check?

Juneteenth is just around the corner. This is the first year I get the day off as a company holiday -- not sure if my company is having any programs or events. How about yours? And if not, are you doing anything on your own to recognize/celebrate this day?

I’m trying to cultivate discussion oriented DEI spaces, any topical themes that would make fun and engaging discussions?

Definitely took the wrong job. I was offered a seriously competitive salary and great benefits to work at a well funded startup, which is great! Turns out the salary and benefits were meant as lowkey bribes to insure I worked at the company without actually doing any work. Every single suggestion I've made has been shut down and I've been ghosted for several meetings with the CEO. What should I do? Just leave?

God imagine working DEI at Twitter 😂😅

How do I transition from a Senior Executive Assistant role to Project Management? Ideally I would like to work in tech. How should I go about this? I currently work in the Real estate industry so it would be a totally new career path. The reason I want to move into tech is I feel like many of the companies I see have the same values as me (diversity & inclusion) and a good culture is so important to me.

“I must honestly confess that I go through moments of disappointment when I have to recognize that there aren’t enough white persons in our country who are willing to cherish democratic principles over privilege. But I am grateful to God that some are left.” This quote is from MLK in 1968 about how he sensed the movement was losing the battle for the soul of the nation.

I recently moved to Toronto from New Jersey. I’ve been applying with little success. I have a background in healthcare, non-profit, and public health. Any advice on what company I should apply to?

My company has ERGs and one of them is pretty large and includes a lot of demographics. Within it, people are starting to kind of form their own subgroups (like based on office location or country-specific ethnicity). Does anyone have any thoughts around what would be appropriate for DEI practitioners to be aware of when serving these populations?
