How do we keep our diversity, equity and inclusion goals on track during COVID-19? This past Monday, diversity, equity and inclusion leaders from across the United States offered their ideas on how to answer this question. This post offers a few strategies to help you keep your organization’s DEI goals at the center of decisions made during COVID-19. If you find these strategies helpful, consider registering for the next community call this Monday at 1 pm Pacific and 4 pm Eastern Time.

Over the past week, we featured 21 diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) thought leaders inviting us to look at many of the barriers that prevent each of us from feeling a true sense of purpose, meaning, and belonging at work. We also dreamed a bold vision of what we could do to make belonging at work more accessible for folks more marginalized than ourselves. We identified actions we could take to help make belonging at work a bigger, more expansive experience so that it includes the people who are often left out. We recognized our individual gifts, our superpowers, and our power to shift us towards the vision so many of the Summit speakers shared about belonging and the future of work. If you want to bring the Summit home you can grab your extended access pass here.

After reading the post, consider registering for the free Belonging At Work Virtual Summit taking place October 7 - 11, and gain additional strategies on how to serve as a #BelongingChampion.

Today we celebrate International Transgender Day of Remembrance & Resilience. The day effectively raises visibility to the significant barriers transgender & non-binary people endure in all aspects of our daily lives; however, TDOR alone is not a panacea to dismantle them. Complimenting the day, we need more cisgender allies, accomplices, and champions committed to doing the day-to-day work required to improve the lives and well-being of our communities. This blog post offers more background about TDOR, and encourages you to consider what more you can do to support transgender & non-binary people.

On World Kindness Day, Rhodes Perry moderated a panel discussion with some of today’s most inspiring diversity, equity, and inclusion thought leaders. Together, they discussed how workplace leaders could cultivate workplace cultures of belonging after the midterm elections. If you were unable to participate in the November 13 discussion, you now have the opportunity to watch a recording of the panel and learn how political changes impact workplace culture. You will also gain insights on how to navigate politics and lead on workplace belonging.
