Allyship in Action235: Feedback-Fueled Allyship Strategies For Continuous Improvement with Julie KratzThe best allies understand that allyship is about progress over perfection. That means there will be mistakes and failures along the way. Afterall, that is how allies learn to be better. Yet, most hopeful allies wonder if they are getting it right. It is common to wonder, “I think I'm a strong ally, but what if my colleagues of diverse backgrounds don't see me that way?” or “I want to be a better ally, and I am not sure if I am doing enough.” To tap into feedback-fueled allyship to know where to improve, consider these ideas: Acce...

Allyship in Action234: Build A Strategic Roadmap For DEI To Avoid Stalling Out with Julie KratzOrganizations deeply committed to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) work understand it's a long game. DEI is a journey rather than a destination. Yet, having tangible priorities and expected outcomes is key to long-term success. Industry leaders in DEI often build a road map of activities for the coming year. It is connected to an overall strategy that outlines what DEI means at the organization and why it matters. Before building a road map of priorities, define your DEI strategy. This should align with your organization's mission and values to ensure authenticity. Ideally, DEI connects to your...

Allyship in Action232: 5 Best Practices For HR Leaders Managing DEI with Julie KratzThe relationship between diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and Human Resources (HR) is often complicated. While there is overlap and the need to work together, there are stark differences. Many HR practitioners get involved or voluntold (volunteered without being asked) to manage DEI at their organizations without the skills and resources to genuinely support DEI efforts. To better manage this complex relationship, consider this list of best practices for HR leaders who are managing DEI: Start with your own education Advocate for the appropriate budget Ensure you have a seat at the leadership table Engage your...

Allyship in Action231: Your DEI Program Isnt As Effective As You Think with Julie KratzEffectiveness of DEI programs can be measured in multiple ways. The most common measurements of participation rates, number of programs and ERG activities are ineffective at measuring impact to the organization. Yet, there are better measurements that do address impact. To better assess impact, start by asking the question, “What problem is our DEI program trying to solve at our organization?” Is it turnover, engagement or innovation, perhaps? Then get granular with the data that will measure whether that problem is being addressed. DEI is more than a program. It is a series of intentional and...

Allyship in Action227: Celebrate DEI With An Inclusion Month (And Year Round Activities) with Julie KratzGiven the recent pushback on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts, many organizations are retreating from the conversation on inclusion at the very time we need it the most. Yet, what is inspiring is the organizations that were already authentically committed are deepening their commitments to DEI as a long-term competitive advantage. Rather than one-and-done training or performative cultural celebrations, organizations authentically committed to DEI are trying a different approach. This year, I've seen organizations increasingly celebrating inclusion months (along with year-round activities).

When we start with an intersectional approach to allyship, we likely make it better for a larger collection of people.

Allyship in Action221: What People Don't Understand About Affirmative Action with Julie KratzWith this summer’s SCOTUS ruling against affirmative action, it is predicted that enrollment of students of color will decline at universities, leading ultimately to declines in workforce participation. This is problematic because younger generations are increasingly more diverse. The lack of representation in the workforce creates a disconnect between the population and employment where organizations will struggle to reflect the very communities that they are trying to serve. Despite this concern, only 36% of Americans perceive affirmative action positively. There are some common misunderstandings about affirmative action that people need to understand for these perceptions to shift....
