      • 4 ways leaders can design a belonging organizational culture through accountability

        In this episode of On The Mic W/ Ray White, we discuss the importance of accountability in creating an organizational culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

        A leader's words need to align with their actions in order to create a psychologically safe workplace where staff members feel like they belong and can thrive. Accountability can be a scary word for some leaders but it is essential in creating a standard and expectation that ensures that goals are met. This episode offers four ways to implement accountability in the workplace culture, including accepting responsibility, constantly learning and improving, providing feedback and support, and recognizing and rewarding progress.
        Comment below how you are holding yourself and others accountable toward building a belonging organizational culture.

          • Discover How to Quickly and Easily Evaluate Your Company Culture! - C.L.A.I.M. DEI Part 3

            In this episode of On The Mic W/ Ray White, we discuss how to assess diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in organizations.

            Our DEI efforts should not be performative and should have some meaning behind them. The assessment part of DEI can be done through a formalized process that looks at the organization's practices, policies, and leadership, but it can also be done through critical self-reflection and asking questions that turn organizational values into actionable steps.
            Thriving, belonging workplace cultures are designed when organizations have a clear sense of our mission, vision, and values and adopt anti-racist and restorative practices to ensure a sense of belonging for all identities in the community.

            Schedule a call to discuss integrating DEI into your organizational strategies and increase your equity lens as a leader! ⁠

            Keywords: #DEI, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Communication, Executive Leaders, #WorkplaceCulture, Active Listening, #employeeengagement , Organizational Assessment, Measurement, and Success, Company Culture
