DEI in the Global Workplace

AA was new to America. She was one of the few girls in her war-torn country who had had the good fortune to be educated and well-read in emerging technologies. This is the first time she has stepped out of her country. As she walked into her new job as the newest recruit, she was worried about the fact that she would be judged for her ethnic background which was evident from the way she looked. As she got introduced to her peers, she was struck by the diversity of the office. People of all races, ethnicity and religions sat next to each other as if one big family. The air was thick with the smell of coffee and freshly baked cookies.

As she traversed through her first day at work, AA couldn't help but feel excited about the possibilities that lay ahead. She had always believed in equality and inclusion but hadn’t really witnessed it in the past. She was thrilled to be able to work in an environment where everyone felt welcome without strings attached.

Over the next few weeks, AA got to know her colleagues better. She learned about their families, their hobbies, and their dreams for the future. And she quickly realized that they were all equally talented and capable professionals.

Despite the differences in their backgrounds, everyone in the office worked together harmoniously. They collaborated on projects, shared ideas freely, and helped each other out when needed. It was truly a model workplace for DEI. She felt confidence, happiness, and a freedom like never before.

“What is normally taken for granted in some parts of the world, is truly a treasured experience in another.”

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, or DEI is a hot topic in the workplace today. Companies of all sizes are trying to create workplaces that are more diverse, equitable, and inclusive.

So, what exactly Is DEI and why is it such a big deal?

DEI stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It can be defined as a set of policies and practices that aim to create an environment of equity and inclusion for all employees regardless of race, nationality, appearance, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or any other protected class. These policies are designed to foster a sense of belonging among employees by recognizing their unique backgrounds and experiences. By creating an environment where all employees feel valued for who they are, companies can recruit more effectively and retain talent better.

How Is DEI Perceived Across Different Countries?

Different cultures have different perspectives on the importance of diversity in the workplace. For example, countries such as the United States have long embraced DEI initiatives in order to promote equal opportunity for all citizens. On the other hand, some countries are still struggling with issues such as racial discrimination or gender inequality in the workplace. As such, their attitudes toward DEI initiatives may be more negative or less supportive than those in other parts of the world.  

Are there any guidelines for implementing DEI in a company?

Yes! The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has developed guidelines that employers should follow when implementing DEI initiatives in their organizations. In the US, employers must comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act as well as other anti-discrimination statutes such as the Equal Pay Act (EPA), Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), etc. Similarly, in Europe, there are laws such as the EU Directive 2000/43/EC which protects individuals from discrimination based on racial or ethnic origin. Additionally, many companies have their own internal policies regarding DEI which can include things like diversity quotas or codes of conduct for employees when interacting with colleagues from different backgrounds.

These guidelines outline best practices such as collecting data on diversity metrics within the organization; creating programs to promote recruitment and retention of underrepresented groups; providing effective training on diversity issues; developing formal procedures for reporting complaints related to discrimination or harassment; and providing support services such as career development opportunities or mentoring programs. Many countries have enacted laws specifically aimed at protecting the rights of minority groups in the workplace. Additionally, organizations have also started developing internal policies that promote fairness and respect for all employees regardless of their backgrounds or personal characteristics. These policies when planned and circulated through a custom employee app, also provide employees with resources such as counseling services if they feel they’ve been discriminated against or harassed at work due to their race/ethnicity, gender identity/expression, etc.

Do people get fired for not following DEI?

Yes - depending on the severity of the infraction or violation of company policy regarding DEI initiatives. For example, if an employee has been found guilty of harassment based on someone’s gender identity or makes a racist comment during casual office chatter, then they may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination from employment depending on company policy regarding such matters.  

Further, it also depends on the country you’re living in!

For example, some countries have laws that explicitly protect individuals against discrimination. In these countries, employers may face legal repercussions if they do not comply with their DEI laws or if they fail to adequately train their staff on DEI issues. On the other hand, some countries lack specific legislation on this issue. So, it may be difficult to prove that someone was fired solely because they did not comply with DEI policies. Ultimately it depends on your country’s laws, but employers should always be aware of potential legal ramifications if they do not properly implement DEI principles.      

What Is the average Diversity Index of global companies?  

The average diversity index for global companies varies widely depending on region and industry; but generally speaking, most large international corporations strive for a level of inclusion that reflects both their local population demographics as well as those found within their customer base. But generally speaking, most companies strive towards 25% minority representation within their workforce across all levels including leadership positions. This number may seem low, but it actually represents significant progress given that just 10 years ago this figure was much lower at around 15%. According to a report published by McKinsey & Company in 2020, “the median representation rate across sectors was 35 percent women across executive committees globally” which shows how much work remains to be done in terms of achieving true equity and inclusion among corporate leadership teams worldwide.    

Conclusion:

Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is becoming increasingly important in today’s global workplace as companies strive to create a more equitable environment for all employees regardless of race, color, religion, caste, creed, gender identity, sexual orientation, or any other protected class. It is important for employers to be aware of potential legal repercussions if they fail to properly implement these principles in order to ensure fairness in their workplaces worldwide! There are many guidelines available from organizations like the EEOC. Most global companies have also begun taking steps toward promoting Diversity Equity & Inclusion initiatives at work.

Though considerable progress has been made in recent years, there is still much work left to do with regard to reaching full equity within corporate leadership teams worldwide. More work needs to be done to foster an environment where everyone can succeed without fear of discrimination or bias.

So, moving forward, continued efforts toward creating equitable workplaces are essential if we hope to see real change take place throughout our society overall. For starters, participating in this webinar can help.

Know the rules at your chosen wedding venues. Many places have restrictions especially some churches. These might impact your choice. If you have chosen a venue because it has a beautiful terrace overlooking rolling hills make sure it will be available to you on your wedding day. The most extreme example I have come across was a church where I was told I had to stop taking photographs once the bride crossed the church threshold. I was not allowed to start again until the service was concluded! As a wedding photographer that kind of restricts me and robbed the couple of some beautiful images as it was a very emotional service. It only takes a minute to ask and some venues have rules that are more flexible before you’ve paid your deposit. #weddingtipoftheday #weddingtips #weddingvenuerules #missingthatpicture #knowtherules #weddingplanningtips #perfectwedding #planmywedding #weddingvenues #justask (at Photography by Bryan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0yWEcSJTF-/?igshid=mj80m1chsf0e

"The Message Is Simple . . . Be Good To The Ocean" - Beautiful footage shot off the Coast of New Zealand courtesy of Wildlife Conservationist, Environmentalist and Cetacean Protector, My Good Friend, Nathan Pettigrew @marine_life_kayaker - Be Good to the Ocean. #begoodtotheocean #goproanz #harbourcruise #paddletime #dolphins #dolphin #bottlenosedolphin #bottlenose #cetacean #knowtherules #gopro #kayaking #kayak #newzealand #seakayaking - ⭕ Whale watching in New Zealand is predominantly centered around the areas of Kaikoura and the Hauraki Gulf. Known as the 'whale capital', Kaikoura is a world-famous whale watching site, in particular for sperm whales which is currently the most abundant of large whales in New Zealand waters. The Hauraki Gulf Marine Park (just outside Auckland city) is also a significant whale watching area with a resident population of Bryde's Whales commonly viewed alongside other cetaceans Common Dolphins, Bottlenose Dolphins and Orca. Whale watching is also offered in other locations, often as eco-tours and in conjunction with dolphin watching. Land-based whale watching from New Zealand's last whaling station, which closed in 1964, is undertaken for scientific purposes, mostly by ex-whalers. The sea around Kaikoura supports an abundance of sea life, with the town's income stemming largely from the tourism generated from whale watching and swimming with or around dolphins. Recently the sperm whale watching at Kaikoura has developed rapidly and now it is an industry leader; arguably the most developed in the world. The dominant organisation in Kaikoura's whale watching industry is Whale Watch Kaikoura, which is run as a charitable organisation. It takes around 100,000 visitors out by boat per annum, and has an annual turnover of NZ$10m. Whale Watch Kaikoura began operating in 1987 with a 6 metres (20 ft) boat. Whale watching is also done by air, and the Kaikoura Aerodrome is mainly used for whale spotting tourist flights by Wings over Whales and Air Kaikoura – Kaikoura Aero Club.

Someone commented on the squandering of my talents due to following process...this is what I have to say... . . . I love being non-conventional. But if being a music major taught me anything, it taught me that knowing the processes, or rules as some may call them, is the foundation of every great masterpiece. Not every great work of music lives by these rules, but knowing why they are needed allows you to break them in ways that to some may appear like chaos, but to the composer is a glorious testament of reason and maybe smirk. Because for all their chaos, they often times are the best moments of the work of art. . . . So go ahead, break your rules, but have a reason why, and the best reason is because you can... because you know the rules. * * * #knowtherules #breaktherules #jsydsquotes #jsydspoetry #classicalmusic #composition #quoteoftheday #friendsgivegoodadvice #workofart #beautyinchaos https://www.instagram.com/p/BsI3TubAbBN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gxn9tq9gpce4

W7 - What are the rules for your makerspace?

I really like this quote from the reading: “When you don’t know what is impossible, you are inclined to think that anything is possible.”(Martinez & Stager) Beyond the reading for this week I looked to the local Anchorage maker space to see how they set it up and manage it. First of all I like that in order to have elevated privileges like 24/7 access, and using certain pieces of equipment requires a membership. The membership establishes an agreement on how the space will be used, this would be a useful approach in the classroom as well. I am reminded of

Papert’s Eight Big Ideas as a general rule set for a maker space

1. Learn by doing.

2. Technology as building material – if you can use technology to make things you can make more interesting things.

3. Have fun – we learn and work best if we enjoy what we are doing.

4. Learning to learn – nobody can teach you everything you need to know. You have to take charge of your own learning.

5. Taking time- you have to learn to manage time for yourself.

6. You can’t get it right without getting it wrong – things do not always work the first time.

7. Do unto ourselves what we do unto our students – let students see us struggle to learn.

8. Entering a digital world – learning about computers is important, but using them to learn about everything else is important.

The caution is not to set too many rules as to restrict the creative and open environment, there should be a conscious effort to celebrate and welcome the creation process. This can be tricky to accomplish and can vary depending on age of students and how much guided support or equipment responsibility is needed.  When doing anything with a student, I would argue safety is always a top priority and should be introduced right away, now the safety conversation can be very different for a coding maker space vs. machine shop but never the less, how to operate and maintain equipment safely should be covered. This includes how to wear the proper PPE when necessary and what to do is something goes wrong. I am a huge fan of having a playbook and depending on your space, equipment and goals the guideline could vary. I love simplicity so I usually keep it to three things this is what I have landed on for a hypothetical maker space rules mantra:

Do no harm to yourself, others and your resources.

Learn by doing...from your mistakes and successes.

Keep making awesome with your attitude and the things you make.
