Summary

The DEI Leader Network's latest live event addressed how data can help make employees feel safe at work

The DEI Leader Network welcomed experts Jakub Ficnur of i-Sight Investigations, Nicole Crowley of Redbud HR, and our own Holly Wittenberg to discuss how data can help make employees feel safe at work. The panel discussion, which was moderated by Denise Rosemond, also of Diversity Works, highlighted how a focus on process rather than individuals can create a system that removes inconsistencies and bias, and therefore generates employee trust.

The panelists introduced the concept of psychological safety, which exists when people feel their workplace and team are places where they can speak up, offer ideas, and ask questions without fear of being punished or embarrassed. While it may seem counterintuitive that data can help create a very human condition, data does help employees see that everyone is treated the same way and subject to the same process.

We polled the webinar participants about how their companies could improve psychological safety in the workplace and improved communication from leadership topped the list. Our panelists noted how data is the input to a process to drive a decision which can then be communicated to reinforce a feeling of safety.

DIVERSITY WORKS EXCHANGE

The Diversity Works Exchange (DWX) is a learning collaborative that helps organizations set goals and improve performance around workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Our approach provides comparably situated, like-minded employers with a safe space to learn from DEI experts and interact with peers who are facing or are successfully addressing similar challenges.

The DWX is designed to help organizations improve across a wide range of DEI competencies, but each cohort selects its own priorities. Diversity Works creates a custom curriculum for each cohort and facilitates the learning process through a combination of online or in-person convenings, interactive webinars, and one-on-one coaching. We create a private, unlisted LinkedIn group for each cohort that allows participants to engage their peers and DEI experts at any time during their DWX term and beyond.

DEI LEADER NETWORK

The DEI Leader Network is a free resource for DEI professionals. We created the network because DEI leaders often feel isolated in their role and benefit from networking with their peers. To join the DEI Leader Network, please get in touch.
