Page Published Date:

Despite the best efforts of HSE professionals, many DE&I metrics are only making incremental change. 

 

In this thought-provoking and informative webinar, we speak to three Diversity, Equity and Inclusion ‘game changers’ who shared their learnings and successes to help us to collectively drive the moment forward. Our expert panel included ‘CEO Diversity Inclusion Champion Award’ winner Emma Hogan, DE&I specialist Dr Katie Spearritt and Community and Talent representative, Harleen Oberoi.


OUR KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THE SESSION INCLUDE:

  • DE&I is an essential part of psychosocial safety and creating an environment where everybody can thrive and do their best work.
  • Strong, courageous leadership is essential for embedding & propelling DE&I efforts. Executive leadership is key, but we can all be leaders in this space.
  • When hiring for and leading your safety team, try to expand notions of 'best fit' to include 'culture add' as opposed to 'culture fit'. Fitting in can be viewed as the opposite of inclusion).
  • Hardwire DE&I by embedding it within your own policies, procedures and practices.
  • Soft wiring (education and storytelling) is also important for driving awareness, building understanding and combating unconscious bias that may exist within yourself and/or your team.
  • Seek feedback from your people, stakeholders and customers. Take their voices seriously. Move beyond simple quotas and lag indicators, to measure meaningful metrics and lead indicators.
  • Avoid 'othering' under-represented groups.
  • Focus on what's working well and translate this into other areas.
