Recent discourse around DEI initiatives should sound an alarm, but should not be a reason to abandon the programs and progress taking place at businesses and organizations across the country. Now more than ever executives need the right partners to continue and even accelerate progress. RHR’s Cristina Jimenez spoke to Taylor Telford of The Washington Post about why it’s critical to have sound guidance and strategy to progress #DEI initiatives. #RHRGlobalLeadership #deistrategy #deileaders

Organizations, remember: Inclusion is a powerful business strategy. Don't let fringe ideologues deter you from good business practices.

DEI Champions 💪, I know that the election results have been disheartening for many of us. The truth is, DEI work will likely be more difficult over the next four years; but "difficult" is what we do best! 🛠️ Take a look at this article featuring David Glasgow, who gives advice on where our work will need to focus next: programs grounded in allyship, psychological safety, authenticity, inclusive leadership, and cross-cultural competency.

The business imperative for DEI continues to grow. It’s even more important for industries or organizations that need to innovate to grow and scale and for those who wish to remain competitive! #DEI #innovation #financialperformance #DEIbusinesscase

Honestly, the SHRM decision to eviscerate EDI by removing #equity is akin to malpractice and frankly, a betrayal of the facts. Just because you get scared and it feels too hard doesn’t mean you abandon justice and fairness. Instead, SHRM should have invested in leading the field by doing more to build capacity among the many half-baked practitioners who threw up a shingle after George Floyd was murdered and ended up doing harm—or maybe they should have disseminated resources and convened leaders on strategic approaches to make equity work in hostile environments—or, they could have used their superpowers and enormous platform to drive a national narrative to support equity more effectively—but instead, they told the world to quit on what we know is necessary for America to be its best self. SHRM’s decision is not reflective of wise and equitable leadership. There are better ways than caving to the angry mob. Whew! Had to get that off my chest. Now back to the work of making equity a reality. https://lnkd.in/d8hjSS_K.
