    272: Feedback Forward Cultures with Rachel Ceccarelli

    With over 15 years of experience in communications at public companies, Rachel Ceccarelli currently serves as the Vice President of Engagement at DHI Group, Inc. (NYSE: DHX) based in Denver, Colorado. In this role, Rachel focuses on advancing diversity and inclusion initiatives, driving employee engagement through training and cultural initiatives, and overseeing programs which create an equitable and attractive workplace for DHI employees. She shares: 1. Establishing a channel for employees to provide feedback is free. Be prepared to listen and take action, while also recognizing limitations due to budgets, resources, etc. 2. Employees are the greatest asset and should be the source for feedback and be included in the solution to move forward. Employee Resource Groups can be low cost, yet incredibly valuable. 3. DEI has gotten a bad reputation partly because companies fall back on their promises and partly because professionals feel it is just a buzz term with no action. Real DEI embraces the differences of people, recognizes that equity is essential to moving forward as a culture and business and values inclusivity not just in words but in practice.

    266: Is It Time To Rename Diversity Equity And Inclusion with Julie Kratz

    Language matters. If DEI is the right acronym for your organization, don't let the naysayers force you to pivot. If people understand what it means, why it matters and how the organization is using DEI to create a competitive sustainable advantage, it is likely a long-term fit. If you're getting resistance where people are not willing to be allies, perhaps pivoting to a word like “inclusion” or “belonging” might be a better fit.  Read full article here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/juliekratz/2024/08/21/is-it-time-to-rename-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-dei/ Find Julie at: https://www.nextpivotpoint.com/
