How to Create DEI Initiatives that Actually Work

DEI

Looking to create Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs and initiatives that stick? You know, the kind of lasting programming that will not only impact on a micro scale with individuals and teams, but on a macro, company-wide basis? 

You’ve come to the right place.

If your DEI initiatives are falling short, my free, downloadable guides can help you create a DEI initiative that’s the right fit for your company. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here: each organization needs a thoughtful approach by a conscientious and self-aware employee or team (hey, that’s you!) to ensure that employees of color are seen and heard. 

So, why not dive in? Check out our free, downloadable guide How to Create DEI Initiatives that Actually Work that will:

  • Provide important context to DEI initiatives

  • Guide you on your personal, step-by-step journey of how to create a sustainable initiative for your company

  • Educate and empower you to create a more inclusive environment in the workplace

I also use real examples and walkthroughs of situations that employees face every day to help you understand a small part of what employees of color may experience – and how you can be an ally to create lasting change. 

It’s important to understand that creating a DEI initiative is a process. It takes time, research, and attention. Luckily, I’m here to help! Not only do I provide the free guide above to get you started, part two, Don’t Make These Mistakes: How to Effectively Support Your Employees of Color provides troubleshooting steps and ways to navigate any questions or doubts that may arise. In this downloadable, you will:

  • Learn how to navigate any hiccups that arise during the process of creating a DEI initiative

  • Some Do’s and Don’ts when creating your unique DEI program

  • Insight onto some of the most common mistakes made with respect to ERGs (so you don’t make them, too!)

It’s only natural when navigating uncharted territory to look for a guide, so let my years of experience and step-by-step tips ease that journey.
