In this special highlights episode, Ishreen takes listeners on a compelling journey through the transformative landscape of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB). She discusses the powerful benefits organisations can reap from embracing DEIB as an integral part of organisational culture, including enhanced creativity, employee loyalty, and cultural awareness. Ishreen also addresses the uncomfortable reality of organisations that actively oppose DEIB and poses challenging questions about accountability. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Ishreen emphasizes the need to shift diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) from a compliance-driven checkbox to an integral part of organizational culture, promoting a mindset of shared responsibility.


This new approach focuses on creating real opportunities and fostering community engagement, as exemplified by Metro Bank's partnership with the English and Wales Cricket Board, which aims to support women and girls in cricket.


Organizations can gain ten powerful benefits from embracing integral DEIB, including improved creativity, decision-making, employee loyalty, and cultural awareness. However, many companies are still not fully utilizing these benefits due to outdated compliance-led approaches.


The evolution of DEIB requires a cultural shift where every employee feels they belong, moving beyond mere targets for diverse hires to creating an environment of inclusivity and support.


Ishreen raises the question of whether companies that actively oppose DEIB should be named and shamed, highlighting the importance of accountability in the pursuit of meaningful change in the face of resistance.

BEST MOMENTS

"What if we could reframe DEIB to benefit everyone?"

"It's not about avoiding getting caught. It's about fundamentally shifting mindsets and embracing a culture of shared responsibility and growth."

"DEIB isn't just good for humanity, it's good for business."

"Should we name and shame these companies? Should they be held to account for their retrogressive actions?"

"It's time to stop viewing DEIB as an optional add-on. It needs to be integral, unshakable."
