What comes to your mind when you think of “bold promises” and “massive failures”? Political campaigns win the trophy at the universal level, closely followed by companies’ diversity promises. Women and marginalized groups are still drastically underrepresented when moving up the ranks, despite the business case for diversity and inclusion being stronger than ever.
As a systems thinker, Pando’s Founder Barbra Gago believes that many DEI programs fail because businesses prioritize diversity without putting the structures in place to support a diverse workplace. For example, they hire someone from an underrepresented group to their board. Still, employees or candidates from that same group face structural issues and biases in hiring and promotion within the organization.
Join this session with Barba and learn how to use career frameworks to build transparency, accountability, and ultimately results into the structure of your DEI goals.
In this chat, we’ll talk about:
- Why career frameworks are vital to your DEI program’s success
- How to create well-defined, actionable career paths and competencies for all your roles (and improve DEI simultaneously)
- Which best practices to adopt when creating, communicating, and implementing career frameworks
