DEIB is NOT…

  • A one-time workshop or event
  • A fad or passing trend
  • Accepting everything
  • Losing your values
  • Self-censoring
  • Sacrificing your own identity
  • Just for marginalized groups
  • About quotas or checkboxes
  • Making everyone the same
  • Reserved for the C-Suite

DEIB is…

  • A catalyst for innovation
  • A reflection of core values
  • Healthy dialogue and respectful debate
  • A competitive advantage
  • Honouring diversity in its fullest sense
  • Respectful disagreement
  • A shared responsibility
  • An ongoing journey of learning and awareness

Building on DEIB requires:

  • Clear, actionable values
  • DEIB training for everyone
  • Enforcing policies against those undermining DEIB efforts
  • Systems and processes that reinforce DEIB principles
  • Equipping leadership with inclusive leadership principles
  • Embedding DEIB into everyday culture, not just policy
