The foundation of DIBs

- Human beings just want to belong. We are compelled to come together, and my hope is that we get to come together at a very authentic way where we seek each other's differences, that we find joy in learning in those differences. When you think about diversity inclusion, you think about goals and numbers and process and compliance and audits, and you leave the human behind. DIBs is about bringing humanity into this conversation and your heart, and what it's not is a program. What it's not is a policy. What it's not is a goal. So, if you're a leader, if you're a manager, think about your workforce. Think about the talent you have and the affordability of that talent. If you think about the power of diversity, inclusion, belonging, more importantly, the belonging part of the culture. That takes a disengaged workforce and makes them engaged. So, as a leader, we'd be silly not to pay attention to this. So, it is a business imperative to get on this because if you do, you unlock your own potential and that of your business.
