Читать книгу Diversity and Inclusion Matters - Jason R. Thompson - Страница 27

Starting a DE&I program can feel overwhelming, a bit like that child standing at the foot of the walnut tree. Where to begin with such a huge task in front of you? Remember, this is also a big organizational shift for the company; therefore, much like the story above, start with simple tools and basics.

The goal of any DE&I program is cultural change. To change the culture of the organization, you need a shared language and understanding of where the company is going. I recommend two simple tools. First, take a moment to make sure everyone is using the same definitions (language) for diversity, equity, and inclusion. The second is using some basic organizational change theory. I use a model of organizational change developed by Jeff Hiatt called ADKAR. I will provide a simple understanding of the change management model that will prove to be very effective.
