Managers as Diversity Champions
This three-part series is perfect for Diversity Council members and Employee Resource Group leaders as well as for professional staff in diversity departments or HR departments who are responsible for engaging managers and leaders. It is designed so line leaders can participate and build confidence speaking about diversity and inclusion. All participants are encouraged to develop personal action plans as we go through the process. And all the calls are recorded, both to accommodate busy schedules and also to provide a resource participants can listen to more than once for review and reinforcement.
Overview
Class 1: What is a Diversity Champion and Why Should I Be One?
We’ll cover what diversity champions do and how it helps them succeed. We’ll help you explain the business-related reasons for diversity and inclusion initiatives and describe some of the common benefits of building a reputation as a diversity champion.
Class 2: I’m Already Too Busy … How Can I Integrate This With My Job?
When leaders think of diversity and inclusion activities as additional work it becomes difficult to focus on it consistently. In this session we’ll cover at least 8 ways managers can integrate their commitment to diversity and inclusion into their regular schedule of meetings and their standard job responsibilities.
Class 3: How Will I Know I’m Making a Positive Difference? How Can I Measure My Progress?
Celebrating success is an important part of any strategy. Building accountability into your diversity and inclusion efforts is no exception. In this session we’ll mention formal compensation strategies but will spend the majority of the time considering other ways to track and recognize progress.
