Inclusion On Demand Podcast

In the Inclusion on Demand Podcast, we’ll explore the world of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging - called DEIB for short - through the lens of best practices host Brian Fishbone has developed over more than a decade in this field.  We’ll discuss everything from inclusive leadership and psychological safety to bias mitigation in HR practices and building sustainable, enduring Employee Resource Groups (ERGs for short). We’ll feature interviews with leading inclusion experts and practitioners.  And we’ll analyze what’s hot, and what’s not, in the world of DEIB.  The goal of the podcast is to equip you with powerful insights, diverse perspectives, and easy-to-implement best practices that anyone interested in DEIB can use.

    ERG Best Practices: Virtual Programming for ERGs

    In this episode, host Brian Fishbone shares some of his favorite suggestions for engaging ERG members more interactively in virtual programs. Looking for more support in transforming your ERGs to better align more strategically with business and HR objectives?  Contact Inclusion on Demand today via the links below. Best practices shared during the episode are as follows. Sample Virtual Programs Awareness Months: Offer trivia, games, contests, and other activities throughout the ERG’s applicable heritage month.  Commerce Brainstorming: Marketing associates can post ideas for reaction or crowdsource new ways to serve diverse markets. Member Selfies and Videos: Ask members to post selfies and videos to internal social media to celebrate holidays and awareness months (e.g. LGBTQ+ group can ask members to dress up for a Virtual Pride Parade). Stories of Intersectionality: Post stories of multiple dimensions of diversity (e.g. during Black History Month, post about Queer Black leaders in the community in both Black African American and LGBTQ+ channels). Live Virtual Events Ask Me Anything: Executive Sponsor or other senior leader takes questions from members about anything, from the ERG to their career. More Interactive Events: Be more intentional in creating spaces for interaction within virtual events (e.g. live Q and A, breakout rooms, polls, facilitated chat, etc.). Inclusive Delivery: Turn on closed captioning and as an alternative to asking participants to unmute at random to join the conversation and use raise hand feature or equivalent to more efficiently and equitably invite people to speak. Recordings Create Recorded Clips: After recording an event, edit one more 3-minute clips highlighting key points for those employees who are unable to watch the entire recording.  Provide Resources for Recordings:  Post recording and/or clips in one or more communication channels with one or more discussion questions so that members can facilitate discussions or activities with their work teams.   Additional Resources: Mentimeter: https://www.mentimeter.com/ Poll Everywhere: https://www.polleverywhere.com/ -- Learn more about Inclusion On Demand: https://www.inclusionondemand.com Connect with Brian Fishbone on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianfishbone/
