D&I: Definition for
Our Session Today

Diversity is all kinds of differences and similarities
(including but not limited to: cultural background, geography,
generational differences, nationality, age, gender, race, religion,
sexual orientation and identity, physical abilities, personality,
values, interests, skills, family status, education, business function,
etc.).

Inclusion is creating an environment in which differences are
respected and all people’s talents may be fully leveraged.
…and organizations may be diverse and not inclusive, or inclusive
and not diverse: we need BOTH.

Unconscious Bias &
Micro-inequities
In the past, bias was regarded as aberrant,
conscious and intentional. Today, bias is normative,
unconscious and largely unintentional. To be biased
is to be human.
Everyday acts of exclusion, devaluation and
discouragement ─ often unconscious.

Where are the leaders on this continuum? How willing are they to flex? How
fatigued are they?

•

How do we reach leaders and employees at all stages on the continuum both
globally and locally? Should we even try?

•

For Champions and other ‘doers’, are they held accountable to driving D&I strategy
forward? How is this accountability managed and/or governed?

reflect communities in
which you operate?

Define Your

known:

of candidates?

— As a supplier?

• Do you have partnerships
with non-profits (such as
Urban League, Inroads,

Raza?)

— To shareholders?

— In the community?


Take Action to
Close Gaps

wins?

and create accountability.
