Global Diversity Awareness Month reminds us of the countless ways diversity is critical to growth, culture, and innovation. No one at EarnIn is better suited to discuss this than Danette Buie, Ed.D., our Senior People Practices Partner. Read on to learn how she’s approaching diversity in the workplace these days. What does Global Diversity Month mean to you? I always enjoy participating in Global Diversity Awareness Month because it reminds us of how our unique ethnicities, cultures, heritages, experiences, abilities, and many other identities influence how we see and interact with the world. This month is a chance to reflect on how our diverse backgrounds help us build a more inclusive and understanding society. It’s our differences that help us create deeper understanding and stronger connections. How do you embrace diversity in your personal and professional life? I embrace diversity by actively seeking out and learning from different perspectives. Engaging with people from diverse backgrounds expands my understanding and helps me grow, as these varied experiences shape how I see the world and how I contribute to it. What advice would you give to someone who wants to contribute to creating a more inclusive and diverse environment at work? My advice is first to understand your own strengths and values. From there, focus on building a network of allies and DIB (diversity, inclusion, and belonging) champions who share a similar vision for the broader work. Once you identify those areas to work on, begin chipping away at them. Even the smallest changes in culture or messaging, or creating a sense of belonging, can be life-changing for someone else. Every step counts, and it’s those steady, persistent efforts that create lasting impact. Looking to join a team where diversity is embraced and your perspective has an impact?
