Diversity, Equity & Inclusion | Strategies for Your Success
Create ongoing recognition of
DEI achievements to reinforce
its importance.
Strategy 7:
Recognize and Celebrate
DEI Progress and Success
The "Big Lift"
For many organizations, adopting real DEI ideals
requires changes in all areas of the enterprise.
It's a "big lift" for those just starting out.
Progress comes through sustained and consistent
effort and requires organization-wide participation.
Acknowledge
the Journey
Initiating an effective DEI program
takes time, effort, and a company-
wide commitment to change.
Each Step Gets You Closer
Engage the process of building a new culture
via shared organizational values.
Reward and Amplify to
Reinforce DEI Progress
Identify teams or individuals with rewards and awards,
and broadcast all progress both internally and beyond.
Tying DEI Success
to Performance
Some companies connect the effectiveness
of their DEI initiatives with advancement
decisions, bonuses or salary increases.
Celebrate the
Community
Celebrate the success of everyone
working together and treating each
other with respect and gratitude.
There will
be highs
and lows…
…so, offer support,
respect and
encouragement
along the way.
Employees are
9.8x
more likely
to look forward to
work when they know
everyone will be treated
fairly, regardless of
race, gender, sexual
orientation or age.
