Back in June, you may have joined companies across the globe professed their commitments to inclusion, but are you keeping up?
When something is being marketed and you are surrounded by it from all directions, itâs easy to get on board. But when the hullabaloo dies down, itâs also easy to forget whatever the fad was at the time. Businesses are as prone to this as individuals, but when something doesnât have a clear and visible impact on the bottom line, as is often true with ESG goals, itâs critical they understand that the impact is there.
ESG and principles such as diversity and inclusion are not just fads; shareholders and consumers alike are demanding visible evidence that companies are living up to their promises. During Pride Month in June companies across the globe loudly proclaimed their commitment to diversity and inclusion. Now, six months later, itâs a good time to revisit where you stand on those promises.
In June, there were lots of helpful articles and initiatives to help you become an ally at work. Hopefully, you followed some of the suggestions. But if you realize you arenât keeping up with that six months later, itâs a great time to give yourself a refresher, and reach out to a colleague. Read some suggestions here.
