In this conversation with hireful, we explore pivotal aspects shaping the landscape of Diversity and Inclusion (DEI) within organisations. From dissecting the roles and responsibilities of both organisations and individuals in embedding diversity and inclusion, to unravelling the opportunities and challenges presented by the shift to hybrid work models, we examine each topic.
Key areas covered:
- Organisational and Individual Responsibility for Embedding Diversity and Inclusion: Exploring the roles and responsibilities of both organisations and individuals in promoting and sustaining diversity and inclusion.
- Hybrid Working – The Opportunities and Challenges: Examining the shift towards hybrid work models, which combine remote and in-person work, and the potential benefits and drawbacks.
- Embedding Diversity and Inclusion as a Skillset: Recognising diversity and inclusion as essential competencies that individuals and organisations need to develop and cultivate.
- Outcome-Focused Approach to DEI: Shifting the focus from mere compliance or surface-level diversity initiatives to measurable outcomes and tangible impacts on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
- Banter and Organisational Liability: Examining the fine line between workplace banter and behaviours that may contribute to a hostile or discriminatory environment.
