This week, we have a D&I Strategy Worksheet for you to work through to give you a tangible first step in your businesses diversity & inclusion journey.
Download NowIn this episode, Ryan sits down with Tonia Benas, BELAY’s Talent Acquisition Recruiter and D&I Committee Co-Chair, and Beth Thompson, BELAY’s HR Generalist. They will talk about the importance and value of diversity and inclusion in business, and they’ll also explain BELAY’s journey to developing their own D&I Committee.
Listeners will feel motivated to help make their workplace more inclusive, and they’ll have the strategies and resources to do just that.
If companies want to attract top talent, that talent needs to feel included and a sense of belonging – both of which are major drivers of engagement. When the team is more engaged they are more productive. When they feel like they’re valued and their voice matters, they buy into the mission and bring more value to the company. With that level of engagement, you won’t have to worry about retention.
It’s about diversity of thought, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, and pronouns. All of those things matter and are important. All of us came from a different place with different experiences. With D&I, we seek to learn about those experiences and about each other.
This reveals where the pain points and gaps are that need to be addressed. After that, it’s important to be allies, do your homework, and champion others that bring different experiences and opinions.
Today on the podcast, we have a special episode courtesy of our friends at the Maxwell Leadership Podcast. BELAY CFO Lisa Zeeveld sat down with Mark Cole recently to co-host an episode of the Maxwell Leadership Podcast about how to get time back as a leader.
