Proven Process Group’s Post

As part of our ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion (D&I), we have chosen to release our new Diversity and Inclusion Policy to our employees today. This policy reaffirms our dedication to ensuring that all employees are treated equally and fairly, and that discriminatory behaviour is not tolerated. Diversity is not just a 'buzzword' - it's a fundamental aspect of who we are. By prioritising diversity and inclusion, we are not only creating a better workplace for our employees but also driving innovation, productivity, and business success.

An inclusive work culture with a well-supported diversity program is critical. In the United States, employees feel more connected and committed to organizations that prioritize DEI initiatives compared to those with fewer efforts. Moreover, workplace DEI initiatives are widely regarded as one of the most effective ways to combat racism.

Diversity and inclusion are pathways for the success of an organisation. The organisations must address it through a policy formation and implementation in letter and spirit. Our actions must be visible and time tested...

Our community is built on the pillars of respect, trust, and care. These values are not just words; they are the guiding principles that inspire us to be our best selves. When we respect each other, we create a culture that celebrates diversity and embraces inclusivity. When we trust in each other, we collaborate with confidence, knowing that we are working towards a common goal. When we care for each other, we create a safe and supportive environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to make a difference. By embodying these values, we create a community where anything is possible, and where we can achieve great things together.

After reading Edelman's Business and Racial Justice Special Report, it's clear that employers have a huge opportunity to make positive change, build trust, and gain loyalty in the U.S. by investing in diversity, equity, and inclusion. Respondents agreed that a well-structured diversity program and inclusive work culture can attract and retain talent regardless of age, gender, income, or community. If there is a sense of belonging, it transcends political lines, leading to more employee advocacy. So, what are the report takeaways? ➡ Employers are the most trusted institution to create lasting change ➡ DEI programs benefit all employees when everyone has a voice ➡ Customers buy from brands that respond to racial injustice ➡ Employee loyalty is dependent on whether DEI commitments are fulfilled #CustomerRelations #Management #DEI

Today is International Parity at Work Day. This is a great day to reflect on the positive strides taken to increase equity in the workplace and celebrate diverse workplaces. Everyone, no matter their skin color, race, nation of origin, religion, or gender, should be treated fairly. It's also a time to acknowledge that there is still work to be done.

When was the last time you expressed a dissenting view in your workplace? the problem with diversity and inclusion in 2024 is that once recruited we encourage team members and employees to be compliant, we punish them for a dissenting view or whenever they express an opinion, we do not listen to the views of dissenters and therefore the entire reasoning behind recruiting for diversity of opinion and for the strengths of a diverse team come to nothing! Australia and most Western democracies have an issue with enablement of dissent, in allowing a variety of views to be discussed and heard, and in quickly condemning people and their views based on WOKE ideology. There is no point or strength in diversity, ina democratic expression of views if you silence people !
