Why should you care about diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace? There isn’t a single answer: 🤝 Because it’s only fair that anyone who works for a company should know the company works for them as well. 🤝 Because they’re pillars upon which strong, happy, intelligent teams are built. 🤝 Because if people aren’t actively welcomed in, they’re passively pushed out. How DE&I is achieved isn’t a simple answer either. In fact, that’s much more multi-faceted. 🗣️ So, we sat down and had some conversations! 💬 The first episode of our DE&I Dialogues is out now. We hope you’ll enjoy it and carry on the conversation in your own workplaces! Check out the first episode on Diversity through the link below! 👇 https://lnkd.in/gP6VrJT3 #DiversityEquityandInclusion #workplaceculture #BetterMedia #ShowHeroesGroup

How can organizations advance from developing neurodiversity hiring programs to truly designing a neuro-inclusive workplace that allows talent to thrive? This Ivey Academy podcast suggests applying strategies that help leaders and managers identify and address individual needs, rather than imposing “off-the-shelf" solutions, as well as aligning practices and organizational values. "Traditional work conditions were developed with a narrow vision of what kind of worker should succeed." shares the author, "Many organizations still operate with the approach that individuals who fall outside of these traditional ideals must seek individualized accommodations to help them adapt to the traditional work environment. However, when we design work environments specifically to support Neurodiversity, we not only foster a better sense of belonging for everyone on the team, but the design changes often benefit all employees.." #neurodiversityatwork #neurodiversity #equityandinclusion
