Mentoring for DEIB in the Workplace
The more diversity organizational leaders are aware of, the better they can build initiatives to foster a supportive, inclusive company culture.
Diversity Mentoring for Inclusive Workplace Culture
Why Diversity Mentoring?
In a competitive market, an inclusive workforce is a must. As Iliana Castillo-Frick of SHRM said, “By fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion, organizations will attract and retain the highest level of talent.” Inclusive organizations experience increased engagement, higher retention as well as improved innovation by enabling diverse populations. Diversity mentoring helps organizations create an inclusive workforce, supporting diverse populations to build relationships, establish career paths, and feel empowered within the organization.
- Improve diversity in leadership or specific functional disciplines
- Better attract and retain employees
- Connect diverse populations with each other to learn and share experiences
“Inclusive organizations are 3.3x more likely to be high performing and 5x more likely to be agile.”
