Diversity, Equity & Inclusion | www.opensesame.com | (503) 808-1286 | 4 Creating an Environment for Growth By transmitting the values required for full-scale DEI programs to thrive and evolve through the four pillars/lenses of an organization's structure, individuals and the way they perform their roles become part of (and contributors to) an environ- ment of growth. Programs ranging from attracting and hiring diverse candidates in order to focus development of underserved employee groups to ensuring greater equity in career opportunities are a part of ongoing learning and practices that eventually bring wholesale change. In addition to programmatic considerations, organizations need to have systems in place to facilitate DEI initiatives. Utilizing technology, governance practices (such as diversity councils to manage enterprise-wide efforts), and oversite tools to measure progress, make adjustments and ensure readiness to adapt to change and new challenges establish system supports that make a continuous, holistic DEI vision possible.
