Last year we made a commitment during Pride month 🌈 to try and do better. So, one year later, where are we at? In this post, we won’t talk about the things we are working on (that will come later), but an important part of how we are approaching it. First step: We formed a DEIB committee. This is the first Employee Resource Group (ERG) of any kind at CatalystOne - so it was kind of a big thing! The committee was selected in a very deliberate way to try to represent different backgrounds, office locations, ages, genders, and departments within the organisation. We’re still figuring out some details: 👉 How will the group work? 👉 What kind of framework should we follow? 👉 How much time can we dedicate to the work? 👉 Do we need a budget? How much? That said, we've defined our mission statement and divided ourselves into groups for each of the DEIB pillars. We've made sure we have sponsors in the leadership team that work with us (thanks Hope Mears Østgaard and Anna Erlandsson), and carried out a survey to assess the AS-IS situation. As with many things, it all takes time, and things are moving slower than we all want – but they are moving. It’s a learning curve for us all but a journey we’re excited to be on. 🚀 🌈 How have you approached your DEIB initiatives? Have you formed ERG groups and what tips do you have to share? #LGBTQ+ #HR #HBTQ #passionforpeople #diversity
