Greater leadership involvement and KPIs are key to evolving corporate and organizational EDI practices
Without diversity represented in senior management, other equity, diversity and inclusion efforts – such as communication and training – may be interpreted as lacking or disingenuous, according to a recent EDI study commissioned by the Chartered Professionals in Human Resources Canada.
“Authentic and sustained effort is important so that employees don’t see an organization’s DEI efforts as performative.” EDI in the workplace has been a part of human resources, hiring, culture and business discussions for years. Progress on the EDI front can be seen within many B.C. companies, but experts say more work needs to be done, and companies need to evolve their EDI practices.
However, despite the practices and intentions noted above, EDI experts say they hope to see more work being done in the space, including more leadership team support, specific metrics for measuring outcomes and the integration of EDI into every aspect of an organization. Blain added that companies need to take a more holistic and long-term approach to EDI work, and to encourage and establish safety for their team members.
