How to Communicate the Importance of Diversity

As a consultant, I have helped many organizations facilitate diversity activities and interventions designed to improve both individual and organizational performance. To ensure success, I have found the most important step to take is to communicate the “business case” for diversity throughout the organization. You can do this by taking the following steps:   

1. Clarify the benefits of empowering diversity for YOUR organization.
2. Identify the KEY leaders in your organization.
3. Describe instances where empowering diversity will help you achieve SPECIFIC organizational goals.
4. LIVE your commitment to diversity.

During the next month, I will describe each of these steps in detail and offer examples for how you can effectively communicate the importance of diversity.
