"DEI Strategy:
Avoid Poor DEI Implementation with a Technology-Led Strategy
Today's workforce is looking to engage with companies committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices. They are looking for employers who understand their unique work experience and create an inclusive environment to meet their needs.
Engaging the modern workforce will be a crucial component of success for business today, but many companies struggle to maintain DEI efforts after various initiatives have been implemented.
The key to effective DEI implementation that sparks change is knowing the costs and developing a holistic strategy - including using DEI technology to lead the way.
The Real Costs of Avoiding DEI
Unengaged, Uninspired People
Burnout Among Employees
The Leaky Bucket of Diversity Hiring
Don't Shortcut the DEI Process
In developing a holistic DEI policy, three elements must exist:
1. Content
2. Representation
3. Awareness
Using Tech to Implement DEI Initiatives
Technology is playing an increasingly critical role in ensuring that DEI initiatives are successful.
An increasing number of companies are making resources about DEI initiatives and best practices available on various platforms, including their official website, social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, company newsletters, online communities such as forums or Slack channels within the community, and video portals.
In addition, digital tools offer an effective way to increase awareness of DEI initiatives. Polling tools such as Qualtrics are often used to allow employees to provide input about their experience with an initiative, training materials, or feedback. These tools enable companies to track engagement and ensure that all members of the organization are contributing to it.
Recently, machine learning and AI have been implemented within social impact organizations to increase their work efficiency. These real-time learning systems can help take data collected through research and put it into action in policies, content development, and more.
