We here at Raines are getting ready to celebrate April's Diversity Awareness Month! While current headlines might focus on cuts in DEI programs and DEI-specific roles, we are not discouraged-- and it seems we aren't the only ones. In fact, a recent Pew study found that a majority of employed adults in the U.S. think increased DEI at work is a good thing. Research continues to demonstrate the positive impact of DEI in organizational output, with well-managed, highly diverse teams showing greater innovation and higher levels of effectiveness. And the benefits extend beyond financial gains: diversity in the workforce improves employee engagement, fosters a sense of belonging, and drives innovation.   This month and every month, we at Raines celebrate diversity and remain committed to supporting increased representation and inclusion efforts -- both internally and for our clients. #diversity #diversityawareness #dei

As February comes to a close, it's important to remember that DEI work is not performative. It's not enough to simply acknowledge it during designated months or events. To truly make a difference, you need to stay committed to DEI efforts year-round. One way to do this is by creating a strategy to support the people within your organization. This can include initiatives such as diversity and inclusion training, mentorship programs, and employee resource groups. By taking intentional steps to support and empower underrepresented groups, we can create a more inclusive and equitable workplace for everyone. Make the commitment to keep DEI at the forefront of our minds and actions, not just during designated times of the year. Embrace the people around you! #DEI #Culture #DEIB

🤝 National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) is a time to celebrate the valuable contributions of workers with disabilities. 🥅 This month emphasizes the importance of inclusive employment practices and highlights the need to create quality job opportunities for everyone, regardless of their abilities. 🧠 The theme for 2024, "Access to Good Jobs for All," underscores the positive impact of a diverse workforce on innovation and success. NDEAM serves as a reminder of the importance of accessibility and equality in the workplace, promoting understanding of disability employment issues and commending the skills and talents of workers with disabilities. ✅ If you and your organization work with women, Military and Veterans, military spouses, LGBTQ, early talent, disability, OFCCP Compliance, applicant tracking system, Recruitment, Federal & State, and minorities.

On this Juneteenth, we honor the end of slavery in the United States and recognize the ongoing journey toward equity and justice. This day serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in our workplaces. At HRM Services, we believe in fostering a work environment where all employees feel valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential. We believe that diverse perspectives drive innovation, creativity, and success. As human resource professionals, we play a pivotal role in authentically supporting DEI by: - Developing policies and practices that support all employees and implementing them with a focus on equity. - Offering DEI training programs to educate and build awareness. - Facilitating open conversations about race, equity, and inclusion. - Implementing strategies to attract, hire, and retain diverse talent. As we commemorate Juneteenth, let's reflect on the progress we've made and acknowledge the work still ahead. Together, we can build a more inclusive and equitable workplace for everyone. #Juneteenth #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #HR #InclusiveWorkplace #DEI

Average Employers: You fit our mold, or you're out. Great Employers: Let's break the mold together. Your unique perspective adds value here. True diversity isn't just about ticking boxes; it's about embracing differences and harnessing them for success. Average DEI initiatives often overlook underrepresented groups such as disabled individuals, veterans, and more. It's time to change that narrative. As a legally blind DEI and L&D expert, I'm on a mission to redefine corporate boundaries and create inclusive HR strategies for all. Let's push past the ordinary and strive for extraordinary inclusion. How do you drive thoughtful inclusion at work? #DEI #InclusionMatters #HRStrategy
