IIP117 How to Deal with DEI Pushback & Still Affect Company Culture
On our last few episodes of the Inclusion in Progress podcast, we’ve been sharing examples of the types of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) work we’ve done with client partners.
In today’s episode, we’re speaking with Jimmy Rose, former Vice President for Employee Experience at Cotiviti. Since connecting with Jimmy in 2020, we were fortunate to partner with him to establish DEI foundations for his company, teams and larger company culture.
In our conversation, we discuss:
-
How Jimmy first got into DEI work and how he’s seen the industry shift through the lens of Operations, HR and Employee Experience in Cotiviti
-
How it was like to partner with us at Inclusion in Progress — and why he recommends working with an external consultant to focus a company’s DEI goals in the early stages
-
How the current landscape affects the urgency of DEI objectives companies set during the pandemic — and Jimmy’s advice for practitioners when facing pushback or discomfort
If you want to partner with IIP to create more equitable, effective teams in your hybrid workplace — email [email protected] to book a free no-pressure consultation with our team.
In This Episode:
[3:19] Jimmy reflects on his solo journey in leading DEI efforts and recognizing the need for external support.
[7:04] Using data collection to understand the current status and identify areas for improvement within your organization.
[11:08] The importance of cultural sensitivity when discussing diversity and inclusion.
[15:04] Jimmy talks about starting an ERG at the organization he worked for with no budget, and the importance of getting started.
