Why investing in your managers pays off
Leadership support, manager engagement and launching initiatives are all necessary ingredients for long-term DEI success. And because managers are consciously or unconsciously shaping your organization’s culture every day this audience requires a special focus. But to unlock their
power to create a more inclusive environment, you must start by addressing their specific
needs:
-
First, they need to understand the big strategic picture behind
your
DEI initiative.
-
They also need tools that help them build an inclusive and
equitable
work environment where everyone can thrive.
-
And those tools must offer concrete guidance on specific inclusive
management practices, such as leading teams, making recruiting and hiring decisions,
and
managing onboarding.
Our courses address managers' top DEI challenges: Managing diverse teams in an inclusive
way and making hiring and onboarding processes more inclusive and equitable.
Research shows return on DEI
By paying attention to the needs of your managers, you can avoid a major pitfall that makes
many
DEI programs fail over time. Managers yield influence in three directions—their team, senior
leaders, and peers. And that influence matters: According to research, nearly 9 in 10
workers (87%) say their manager contributes to setting their
team's
work environment.
An investment in training your managers to become more inclusive will also set your
organization
up for success using proven ROI. It's well-known that an inclusive culture directly affects
retention and recruitment—research shows that 80% of employees
consider inclusion to be important in choosing an employer and 39% would leave their
organization for a more inclusive one. And on business benefits,
diverse
and inclusive workforces have long been proven to create more innovative and profitable
companies, as backed up by research from Deloitte, Boston Consulting Group, McKinsey and more.
Hiring & Onboarding Course
Because hiring and onboarding are likely the first experiences that
candidates
and new hires will have with your organization, it’s often where they will discover the
degree
to which you value diversity, equity and inclusion—something we know is a priority in
today’s
competitive hiring marketplace.
That's why we’ve developed a course that will equip managers with the
skills
and tools they need to engage in inclusive management practices during the recruiting,
hiring
