DE&I initiatives once championed as a force for workplace equity and growth are now being condemned, sidelined, and stripped of their visibility—at least until political winds shift again. But at what cost?We invited Margaret Spence, an expert and advocate for transformative and inclusive change, to discuss the cost of these reduced investments and what organizations can do to respond. Margaret motivates leaders to not focus on the term “DE&I,” but on what inclusion truly...

In contrast, we look at Fidel Castro’s promises of racial equality for Afro-Cubans and his efforts to promote gender equality, alongside the realities and limitations of these reforms.

Two days ago, I predicted that the British Prime Minister wouldn’t last until the end of the week. Of course, I’m sad that I was right. But her public demise should make every woman take a moment to think about their own rise and potential fall. When women rise, are they adequately supported?

Inclusion Unscripted E30: The Power of Equity – Distilling Equity Into Talent StrategiesWhen you think about equity, what are your first thoughts? The normal narrative around DEI goes something like this, “Organizations must make diversity not a nice to have but a key advantage in your organizations’ core mission, corporate and social responsibility, and because it’s the right thing to do.” Nowhere in that discussion do we add equity. In this episode, Margaret Spence will follow up on last week's episode, where she discussed the collective impact of equity. This week we will define equity as fairness and justice achieved through systematically assessing disparities in opportunities, outcomes, and represent...

Why aren’t we leading off with equity before talking about diversity? In this episode of Inclusion Unscripted, Margaret Spence will discuss what equity means at every level of the organization and why we must address equity as the foundational level of any DEI work.

She feels that our DEI Story cannot be "Poor, pitiful you," and along comes a big organization to rescue us from ourselves. The story doesn't define the people – the DEI data is a person – the process requires not only vision but compelling storytelling – most people don't know how to reframe the story.

When individuals reach out to ask me for help, it's okay to say no. At first, it was challenging to say no, but I realized the analogy of putting the oxygen mask on yourself first.

Unfortunately, within the hiring process, we often underestimate the level of trust that employees place in us.

Inclusion Unscripted E21: The Existential Crisis Is Equity For Professionals of ColorWe’ve asked for more diversity but what we need is equity. We defined inclusion, we nuanced belonging, we begged for equality – it’s time to demand equity first. We should ask organizations to provide the numbers on what positions offer equity and how many women and diverse employees are in line for equity roles. Then we should demand more hiring into equity-tracked roles. Equity is the economic foundation upon which true inclusion and equality are built. It provides the financial engine that drives diversity and inclusion forward, ensuring that every voice has a seat at the table...
