Leadership Ally for Diversity and Inclusion
“Diversity: The art of thinking independently together.” — Malcolm Forbes
The world is still very unsettled about diversity and inclusion. There are so many myths surrounding D&I and many people remain oblivious to the fact that discrimination is still very much a thing today.
Everyone is complicit in this issue because we have all either denied opportunity or been denied opportunity based on a diversity factor. As HR leaders it is our responsibility to be allies for D& I.
Diversity has become a polite, positive, hopeful feel good mantra that does not include any action. Everyone values diversity yet few are really translating it into action. Let’s not just talk about it, but be about it as allies for Diversity and Inclusion.
