What’s on Your Mind: Do Your Own Work

Welcome back to another episode of "What's on Your Mind," where we delve into your most pressing DEJI questions. 

In this week's episode, we discuss

• Moving beyond performative DEIJ
• Doing your own inner work - why as a leader you must to do you own work to effectively create change in your organization 
• Why it’s no longer acceptable (not that it ever was) to rely on employees to do the work of DEIJ 

Leaders need to embark on their own DEI learning journey.  It is not your ERG’s responsibility to lead  DEIJ within your organization. Don’t ask employees to commit time, expertise, and passion for free, it is essential to provide compensation. If budgets are limited, organizations can offer learning opportunities or professional development to demonstrate their commitment. By allocating monetary resources to DEI, organizations align their actions with their values, demonstrating that DEI is not merely lip service.

I want to hear from you.  What are you doing in your organizations?  What’s working?. Please feel free to reach out with any questions, feedback, or success stories at info@restartconsult.com.
