In today's world, celebrating diversity and fostering inclusion is more important than ever. By understanding and embracing the richness of our differences, we can create a world where everyone feels valued and respected. But what exactly do we mean by diversity and inclusion, and why are they so crucial? Read more: https://lnkd.in/dHUtHj4s

At Yottaworld, cultivating inclusion stands as a fundamental pillar within our organization, and we firmly believe that it should be a key strategy for all organisations and entities. Within our sectors, there are numerous ways diversity and inclusion practices can be achieved. What are some of the ways organisations can integrate these principles within their operations? We break it down  👉

Thanks for the inspiring speech & conversation Brooke A. Gazdag, PhD! My two key takeaways: 1. 🌈There’s no diversity without inclusion. 2. 🌈I should ask myself every day what I’ve done to contribute to diversity and inclusion - even the smallest actions matter, and it starts with consciously thinking about it. It’s a reminder that we all have a role to play in creating inclusive environments! https://lnkd.in/eqU-vQ6g

When we talk about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), we're discussing more than just adding a few policies here and there or hiring a diverse group of people and calling it a day. It's about weaving these principles into the very fabric of an organization. But here's the kicker: for many organizations, DEI efforts don't go beyond the surface level. They become like a scaffold – you know, it’s temporary and it will never last the distance! What do you think? Want to learn more?

When I got the email that my company The Third Culture had been nominated for a D&I award I immediately thought it was a scam or a sales ploy. I had not entered for an award myself, and a small business like mine often gets an email like this: 'You've been chosen as a top provider or HR services, which we'll tell everyone about if you spend $3,000 on a page in our magazine'. I didn't click on any links, googled the firm and asked around... Indeed, I was elated to find out that it was legit and that someone, somewhere, must have nominated The Third Culture for DEI Innovation at the UnderOne Diversity and Inclusion Awards. The idea that our work creating safe spaces for more complex discussions for DEI practitioners has been noticed despite my personal difficulty with 'PRIng' myself and my company on social media already filled me with much joy...perhaps a bit of vindication for all the hard work it took to get here with an evidence-based, insightful approach. Last week, it was confirmed that The Third Culture MADE THE SHORTLIST. I mean WOW, this is beyond my dreams and imagination. As alluded to, I struggle with Linkedin posting. I really don't know much about the algorithms that help get loads of clicks despite having worked in media for over twenty years. In fact, I am quite sure this post will be one of my lowest in terms of reach ever. Nonetheless, I am giving myself a pat on the back today and look forward to The Third Culture's future supporting 'fearless and human inclusion conversations'. The end! #UnderOneAwards

Nowadays, the words diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and allyship sound more like buzzwords as corporations, educational institutions, and even some states backpedal on their DEI initiatives. As an inclusion strategist and an outspoken woman, Amber Cabral is making it her duty to ensure that the importance of DEI within the workplace is not treated as secondary. https://lnkd.in/e4XbmRkx
