With so many plans and budgets in the air right now, what are you seeing with your agencies or clients for leadership, diversity, enrichment sort of programming?

My boss came from a network agency (he’s an owner now) and said when there’s a downturn or finances are bad, leadership is more likely to be even more risk averse and rely on people and business practices that worked in their past out of panic rather than focus on implementing progressive policies for the long-term (shareholders want to see immediate results). I worked at one of these name brand agencies more recently and when they started hemorrhaging business, POCs and those not part of the in-crowd were the first to go. In fact, all the POCs in my department were let go and replaced with less experienced juniors who graduated from the new SVP’s alma mater. Since people who wanted to debate ideas were seen as troublemakers, no one would speak the truth. Loyalty was rewarded over innovation and relationships with clients were based on pleasing them at all costs, which ironically pushed them to shop around for better ideas. They’ve been shrinking ever since.

I want to see more of this, especially now. I'm curious how leaders are focusing in this uncertain time. Hopefully development of our people and communities doesn't have to suffer.

To top it off they start trying to tell me they are laughing because they are reading “belly laugh books for kids”. Help.

Hey fellow fishies! There have been some questions lately about men lurking in this bowl. I’ve reached out to Fishbowl and a rep reassured me that only users who identify as women are allowed access to 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 🙏

Thanks!

Do NOT claim you are "colorblind" in the workplace. 1. DE&I knowledge is now a core leadership competency. Colorblind claims will earn you the reputation of being DEI-ignorant at best & racist at worst. 2. Colorblindness within the context of workplace diversity is an obvious lie. You do NOT want to be painted as an intellectually dishonest leader. 3. Colorblind claims signal that you lack the leadership skills & vocabulary to have key conversations. Ask questions here, in this safe space.

My company is in need of a update online, could use your opinions! We need to better showcase our culture (caring, supportive, fun, intelligent IT industry leaders) as well as diversity. We are predominantly white still but making strides to improve here. What’s the best way to approach? I don’t want to seem disingenuous or that we are singling out our diverse employees (asking for photos). We have a remote and on-site workforce about 350+ EEs. Non white EEs make up about 35% of the company rn.
