Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: A ‘REL Rant’ Wrap with Maria and Michelle
This week’s episode marks the final installment in Maria and Michelle’s ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’ (DEI) series. Throughout this series, an impressive lineup of highly knowledgeable guests have repeatedly stressed the importance of DEI, particularly in the workplace, and offered strategies to help achieve this essential goal. Today, our hosts wrap the series up by pulling together and linking the many recommendations offered, and sharing their own strongly held opinions in no uncertain terms.
They begin by reiterating just how essential it is for all humans to be treated equally, and then look at the implementation of DEI policies regardless of the size of your budget, accessing reputable resources, and reviewing some of the key recommendations from the series’ guests. They also explore the nature of biases, traits of both good and toxic leaders, obtaining and responding to data, and the powerful support that REL Talent can provide in your organization’s DEI work. The level of passion displayed by Maria and Michelle in today’s episode makes crystal clear just how important this work is to them and needs to be for all others, as they engage in a ‘REL Rant’ that will both inform and inspire everyone who listens.

Quotes:
“We won’t be there until we don’t have to say ‘diversity, equity and inclusion’, until all humans are just treated equally.”
“It’s like ‘Get on the fucking bandwagon, people’…just do it.”
“We are all internally the same.”
“There’s a lot of work that still needs to be done.”
“Get out of your comfort zone.”
“Every single person in the world has biases.”
“Maybe I’m just super self-aware through my experience.”
“I feel like we’re all unintentional assholes, and there are some intentional assholes.”
“Some biases help you to achieve stuff, but many of them cause pain to other people because you’re applying them.”
“As long as these people live in the shadows, systemic issues are going to exist forever because they’re the ones in power, they’re the ones in control.”
“Get a new perspective or don’t get a job.”
“At the very minimum, you can make work a good place.”
“80% of purchasing decisions that are made in the United States of America are made by a woman.”
“I can get it anywhere, and I’d rather get it from a company that treats people well.”
“Get your ass up and go and do it! Just do it!”
