Are diversity and inclusion achievable?
This past week on the podcast this week about the relevance of diversity and inclusion initiatives. Although there are successes documented, many, if not most, balk at the value. In 2018, I will explore this even more, but not without some shading of practices where job seekers catch the short end. This article gives all of the right reasons, but unless if it is not championed from the top down, will fail.
Include the disabled and differently abled in this diversity and inclusion talk
Small and big ways to help the disabled always win. Now, can we possibly get more of them hired for jobs they qualify and competently perform? When we make it hard for them, we disable our full potential to truly have a diverse workplace. Love this article offering ways we can all participate.
Yeah, we tackled it…
I have tackled diversity and inclusion a few times throughout the years. If you want to explore the subject a little more, see the posts listed below:
What’s hot for diversity and the holidays? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
We may not agree with one another’s choice of holiday celebrations, but we can appreciate one another whether they observe Christmas or not. I thought this article is stated well in making our neighborhood and workplace environment safe and inclusive in every way possible.
Enjoy the holiday, and remember to stay in demand, my friends. See you in 2018!
