In an age where social media and digital platforms can reach millions in an instant, our diverse stories can have global impact. Creating a meaningful connection with others can change how we view ourselves and the world around us. Leadership Strategist and Global Speaker, Sienna J. Brown, shows you how to use your influence to spark a movement, share your truth, and empower others to do the same. ➡️ What is Intentional Inclusion? https://lnkd.in/gcRXHAWB ➡️ Why sharing your story can spark a movement | TEDx: https://lnkd.in/gki62PWK ------------- April is Celebrate Diversity Month. It is a time to recognize, understand and amplify our differences while honoring our common humanity. Inclusion in the workplace is the culture in which people can come to work, feel comfortable and confident to be themselves and work in a way that suits them and delivers your business or service needs. Inclusion will ensure that everyone feels valued and adds value. Workplace inclusion is the process of providing every member of an organization with equal access to professional resources and opportunities. With inclusion as the objective, we are all much more likely to see greater diversity in our workforces, fairer treatment for all and greater equality of opportunities as outcomes. And DEIA is just good business: ➡️ Research by Forbes tells us that decisions made and executed by diverse teams delivered 60% better results and inclusive teams make better business decisions 87% of the time. ➡️ People are considering organizational culture more than ever before and 76% of job seekers report that a diverse workforce is an important factor when evaluating companies and job offers. - Glassdoor ➡️ 83% of Gen Z candidates state that a company’s commitment to inclusion and diversity is important when choosing an employer. - Monster Employer Resources ------------- As certified members of WEConnect International and Canada's 2SLGBTQI+ Chamber of Commerce (CGLCC), inclusion is at the heart of our business. This month, and always, our goal is to treat everyone with respect and dignity. #DEIA #CelebrateDiversityMonth #DEI #WeNotMe #DiverseWorkPlaces #InclusiveLeadership #DiversityandInclusion #ThoughtLeadership #inclusionmatters

Stand up against discrimination, microaggressions, and exclusionary behaviors, and actively support marginalized voices. 5. Provide Resources: Ensure that resources and support systems are accessible to all employees, regardless of their background or identity. This includes offering training, mentorship programs, and affinity groups. 6. Measure Progress: Regularly assess the effectiveness of your DEIA initiatives and adjust accordingly. Solicit feedback from employees to gauge their experiences and identify areas for improvement.
