In light of recent efforts to undermine DEI initiatives in housing, universities, and corporate spaces you can be on the right side of history by practicing authentic inclusion in your firms. Shut Down Microaggressions:  Speak up if you feel like anyone might have made an insensitive comment surrounding someone’s identity. Create a Safe Space for Deep Discussions:  Make it known that team members are welcome to come to their employer with important conversations. This will create a healthy, honest work environment and help to eliminate workplace gossip. Establish a Clear Anti-Discrimination Policy:  Have a written policy that clearly prohibits disrespectful language, discrimination, etc. This protects others and in turn, protects your company.

"Those organizations that are taking their diversity and inclusion efforts seriously should understand that one area makes up a crucial part of it – positive discrimination. When done right, it has the potential to holistically improve your company’s diversity hiring practices. Since diversity in the workplace continues to be held back due to recruitment biases, positive discrimination is even more important to further the cause. Let’s get to it then, shall we? #DEI 101!"

To truly harness the power of diversity, it must be visible, tangible, and inclusive. That's where the principle of Human Representation comes in. When employees of all genders, races, ethnicities, abilities, and backgrounds see themselves reflected in leadership and peer groups, several positive ripple effects occur: - Affirmation of identity and value - Inclusion and trust - Belief in equitable access - A culture of innovation In our latest Nuance Culture News article, we explore the transformative impact of human representation.

YesMadam I’ve seen a very drastic incident today wherein I called one of your employee for service. She was very quiet also when my house maid approached her to do her eyebrows , she denied as she was my housemaid. I hate prejudice, discrimination, and snobbishness of any kind - it always reflects on the person judging and not the person being judged. Everyone should be treated equally. It was really unacceptable , specially in this educated world. Nowadays we’re more focused on diversity & inclusion. I believe each company should teach their employees how to behave & how to react in each & every situation. Embracing diversity, equity, inclusion, representation, and an overall sense of belonging can significantly change perceptions of the world around you. #hateyesmadamforthisirrationalbehaviour.. #discriminationshouldbealwaysunacceptable.

Today is Zero Discrimination Day, a global initiative promoting equality and challenging bias in all its forms. Let's celebrate diversity and inclusion in the workplace by cultivating an environment where individuals are valued for their unique contributions, regardless of their background or identity. Discrimination based on factors like race, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, or disability can have detrimental effects on individuals and the organization as a whole. By actively promoting zero discrimination, organizations can foster innovation, engagement, and respect for all individuals. Remember, every day is an opportunity to build a more inclusive workplace – not just on March 1st, but throughout the year. #ZeroDiscriminationDay #DiversityandInclusion #InclusiveWorkplace
