Thank you for returning for Dr. Anita’s third conversation with Ms. Pat Wadors, the Chief People Officer at UKG. Today Pat will share her thoughts about diversity washing, box checking, diversity fatigue, and the challenge of balancing culture and belonging. For Pat, it comes down to leaders who are purpose-driven and practice servant leadership. There’s so much more she will share about that.

Welcome back to Dr. Anita’s second conversation with Ms. Pat Wadors, the Chief People Officer at UKG. We get to hear a personal story about Pat’s passion for belonging in the workplace which was ignited years ago as a young baseball player. Pat connects the dots between being different, the value those differences brought to the team years ago, and how those differences are valued in the workplace now.

Community, Dr. Anita is excited to introduce you to Ms. Pat Wadors, the Chief People Officer at UKG. The first conversation with Ms. Wadors was so jam-packed with insights that we had to create two segments. Today, she’s going to share a little bit about her work at UKG, which stands for United, Kind, and Growing! They are in the business of HR, payroll, and workforce management and their purpose is people. Dr. Anita loves that! Listen in as Pat describes the phenomenal culture that is thriving at UKG as a result of inclusive design.

It’s April 1st! And it’s been said that to do the same thing and expect different results is pretty foolish. Yet, when it comes to Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging work, too often organizations are doing the same things – that fail to have a lasting impact – and wonder why the results they seek aren’t achieved, or if they are achieved, why those results aren’t sustainable.

It requires us to ponder and grapple with the overarching question being, what’s our organizational why not? This invites us to ask other questions that impact the authenticity and sustainability of Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging work, and that’s no April Fool’s joke!

With another Black History Month behind us, and considering all the “whys” for Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging, Dr. Anita proposes that the question to be pondered and grappled with is What’s Your Why NOT? A good starting point would be the December 2020 Harvard Business Review article entitled Getting Serious about Diversity. In it, the suggestion is made that what matters is how an organization harnesses diversity and whether it’s willing to reshape its power structure. And if not, why not. That will be the focus of her conversation this month with Mr. Dwayne Robertson, head of the office for Diversity & Inclusion for The Young President’s Organization or YPO.
