I N C L U S I O N 🫶 Embracing diversity in all its forms – be it ethnicity, gender, age, or background – is a powerful catalyst for innovation, productivity, and overall success 🤍 At Lloyds Banking Group we benefit from a diverse pool of perspectives, experiences, and talents. This diversity sparks creativity and drives innovation, propelling our organisation to adapt and thrive in an ever-evolving market 💡 When our employees from different backgrounds collaborate, they bring a wealth of ideas that can lead to groundbreaking solutions and strategies 🧠 More importantly inclusion contributes to employee morale and engagement. When individuals feel valued and included, they are more likely to be motivated, committed, and loyal 🌟 An inclusive workplace is a breeding ground for learning and personal growth. Exposure to different perspectives fosters cultural competence and broadens our employees' horizons, creating a more well-rounded and adaptable workforce 🌱 The importance of inclusion for our organisation goes beyond compliance and checklists; it is the key to unlocking the full potential of your workforce and staying ahead in an ever-changing business landscape 🔓 "Inclusion is the key that unlocks the door to understanding, acceptance, and progress – a powerful force that turns diversity into a source of collective wisdom and shared success." #lloydsbankinggroup #lbg #growwithpurpose #helpingbritainprosper #noordinaryjourney #LovetoWorkAtLBG #inclusion #inclusionanddiversity #inclusionmatters

Existing as a research organization for the credit union industry over the past 35 years means that Filene has studied many challenging financial environments and provided credit unions guidance and innovations for how to manage levers to drive performance throughout them -- from the collapse of the dot-com bubble in the late 1990s, to the subprime mortgage crisis and U.S. housing bubble burst in the 2000s to the more recent economic effects of the pandemic. Filene's Center of Excellence for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, launched in early 2020 and led by Fellow Quinetta Roberson has been instrumental in guiding credit unions through challenging shifts in organizational culture, and insights on belonging and inclusion that have proven to drive business goals, support team members, and increase firm performance. We now share a new research brief expanding on Filene’s previous report on Employee Resource Groups from the employee perspective. By combining insights from both credit union leaders and employees, we offer practical strategies for enhancing the value and effectiveness of your ERGs through the business of belonging. One key credit union implication from the research is that when ERGs are well-aligned, they not only provide support, community, and professional development opportunities for their members, but they also contribute directly to organizational effectiveness and performance. With support from Rebecca Mitchell, PhD and Caitlin Q. Briggs, the full brief is now available for Filene members at: https://lnkd.in/edt5U-7d #35YearsofFilene

Our namesake Edward Filene famously said, "progress is the constant replacement of the best there is with something still better." Following Filene’s first system-wide survey on credit union diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies and practices in 2021, we learned that diversity within credit union staff was important, but even more important was what credit unions do with that diversity. We found that 15% of respondents had some sort of employee affinity, network, or employee resource group (ERG). At the same time, we received many inquiries from credit union leaders looking for insights on how to launch a successful ERG program. When designed and implemented effectively, employee resource groups (ERGs) can be leveraged to serve business goals while also improving employee performance and retention. Use this implementation guide--from Quinetta Roberson, Filene Fellow for the Center for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, with Rebecca Mitchell, PhD and Caitlin Briggs--to make progress in your “people helping people” mission and strategies. https://lnkd.in/g6s2qk8V
