COVID-19 RESET & RECOVERY: MAKING D&I A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF THE SOLUTION

> “We are in two crises right now, an economic crisis and a people crisis, and
> organizations that acknowledge only one risk [are] exacerbating the other.
> [Diversity, equity, and inclusion] efforts can be a powerful solution to both
> challenges.”
> 
> Lily Zheng, “Adapt Your D&I Efforts to the Reality of the Crisis,” Harvard
> Business Review, May 7, 2020.

Continue Reading

The last few months have brought increased attention to many issues at the
center of diversity & inclusion (D&I) efforts in the workplace. Current
events—including the unequal health, economic, and work/life challenges facing
women and people of color in the US, the increase in incidents of stigma and
discrimination against people of Asian descent, and the worldwide protests
following the killing of George Floyd—have sparked important conversations about
race, equity, and justice, as well as the impact of inequality on marginalized
groups both at and outside of work.1 This necessary dialogue is happening as
leaders continue to juggle multiple considerations around the COVID-19 health
crisis, business needs, and the “reimagined workplace” that is emerging through
different phases of recovery2—all while many continue to work virtually and
limit in-person meetings.

This is an important time for human capital leaders to speak to—and take action
on—the value of D&I to bring about healing and positive change. While planning
for “what’s next,” the opportunity arises for D&I to not only remain a priority,
but to become a critical component of the solution.


SUSTAINING AND ENHANCING D&I EFFORTS

Businesses do not always prioritize D&I during uncertain economic times; indeed,
D&I budgets (e.g., for staffing, programming, and activities) have typically
been among the first to be cut or put on hold during times of crisis and
economic downturn.3 Today, however, diversity, equity, and inclusion are such
integral components of recovery that it is advisable for organizations to
actually ramp up their efforts as well as their communications about the work
that D&I leaders and champions are doing.4

In addition to the benefits of sustaining and enhancing D&I, there are important
risks of not doing so. As many aspects of today’s health, economic, and societal
crises disproportionately affect women and people of color, organizations that
do not accelerate their D&I work are more likely to roll back any progress made
toward diverse representation, as well as decrease feelings of inclusion among
marginalized and underrepresented groups.5

Given these challenges, what can human capital and business leaders do to ensure
that their companies don’t lose ground on diversity and, instead, integrate it
into their recovery plans to drive sustainable positive change?


TACTICS AND SOLUTIONS

> “Building empathy and inclusive leadership skills is more important than ever.
> It’s needed to manage this crisis effectively; D&I priorities should remain
> front and center instead of an afterthought.”
> 
> D&I Council Leader—Statement adapted from The Conference Board D&I Council
> discussion, May 19, 2020

We present three sets of recommendations on how to articulate the urgency of D&I
and a strategy where diversity, equity, and inclusion drive both short- and
long-term goals: 1) strengthen communication about the why and how of D&I, 2)
make D&I part of the solution, and 3) enhance participation in D&I.


STRENGTHEN COMMUNICATION ABOUT THE WHY AND HOW OF D&I

Times of crisis, transition, and recovery often require a shift in strategy and
communication. D&I positively contributes to business outcomes in a variety of
ways, but its value increases even more during difficult times.6 Strengthening
internal communication about the importance of D&I should go beyond a
single-issue statement in response to current events and guide future behaviors
and communications. Some guidelines include:

 * Provide clear, relevant, and consistent messaging about why D&I efforts are
   especially important now and in times of crisis and recovery. Help leaders
   and colleagues understand how D&I can create better work environments for
   everyone by enhancing:
    * Transparency, trust, and psychological safety
    * Engagement and dedication
    * Collaboration and teamwork
    * Decision-making effectiveness
    * Resilience
    * Innovation

 * Highlight the value D&I brings to employees, the organization, and the
   communities where the company operates. Provide specific examples of how the
   organization is using D&I concepts, programs, and activities during these
   times of crisis, as some might not be as visible. Examples include supporting
   people managers trying to lead their virtual teams more inclusively, drafting
   guidelines and tools to support difficult conversations about current events,
   and working with employee groups and councils.
 * Focus on shared values around inclusion. While making the business case for
   some programs and activities can be useful, speaking about the ethical and
   moral value of D&I can resonate more broadly and be a more effective way of
   bringing positive change.7
 * Outline how everyone can engage in the company’s D&I efforts. Provide
   resources for “meaningful action,”8 such as ways to support communities most
   harmed by the crises and guidelines for employees who are interested in
   becoming allies.


MAKE D&I PART OF THE SOLUTION

D&I leaders should leverage and enhance existing initiatives while also adapting
them to new needs and challenges as employees and organizations transition to
new ways of working. Incorporating D&I considerations into crisis management,
such as by encouraging inclusive leadership skills and establishing processes to
include different voices in crafting solutions, can be especially useful.
Specific examples include:

 * Employee resource groups (ERGs) Engage ERGs and allies to survey their
   members, gather critical insights, and/or recommend solutions that more
   effectively support employees more likely to face hardships during the
   crisis.9
 * D&I team and champions Leverage cross-functional and cross-team collaboration
   to build relationships to encourage having difficult conversations about
   inequality. While discussing these topics can be uncomfortable at first, over
   time it brings more opportunities for meaningful discussions and positive
   change. D&I work often relies on relationship building, influencing, and
   building alliances across the organization, which makes it even more valuable
   during difficult times.10
 * Leadership development and training Inclusive leadership skills are becoming
   increasingly important. Equip leaders and people managers with the training,
   resources, and skills to face new challenges and meet the needs and
   circumstances of different groups of employees.11
 * Leader accountability Build leader expectations around D&I that are
   measurable and linked to organizational rewards (e.g., inclusive leadership
   behaviors, inclusion index score, etc.).
 * Health, well-being, and safety practices Provide mental health resources,
   enhance accessibility to technology, promote health disparity awareness,
   encourage health and safety practices, and explain the important connections
   between D&I and safety behaviors.12
 * Work/life effectiveness Build solutions for working parents and for those
   with new care responsibilities; increase awareness and build trust around
   different ways of working and encouraging more fluid work rhythms, schedules,
   and practices; ensure that everyone has the right technology and tools to
   work effectively.13
 * Community building Encourage new ways of building partnerships with local
   communities, either through volunteering, information sharing, or other
   events. Encourage new ways of amplifying resources inside and outside the
   organization. At the beginning of the recent health crisis when travel was
   restricted across the US, for example, American Airlines partnered with a
   number of national retailers to hire their employees with transferable skills
   who had been furloughed or put on a reduced schedule.14


ENHANCE PARTICIPATION IN D&I

As D&I becomes more integrated into the organization’s recovery strategy, engage
employees and leaders more broadly. Recent events, including disruptions in
regular work and travel schedules and increased visibility of D&I issues,
amplify opportunities to involve those who typically do not participate in D&I.
Boosting interest and participation in D&I activities helps ensure that the
burden of speaking up doesn’t fall solely on marginalized groups or on those
most affected by crises.

A few important considerations to make when building more inclusive
participation practices include:

 * Work with HR, business leaders, and people managers to integrate D&I
   solutions into action plans and within individual talent development plans
   and goals. For example, people managers can recognize their team members’
   work on ERGs during their performance conversations.15 Doing so highlights
   the value that D&I can bring to the organization as well as to individual
   employees interested in developing new skills and competencies.
 * Rethink how you communicate with employees and teams with a focus on sharing
   information more equitably and effectively. Refresh (team) communication
   practices to establish new norms, procedures, and tools around day-to-day
   work (e.g., use collaboration tools, limit meetings on particular days/times,
   consider schedules and time zones, etc.).
 * Leverage technology to connect and poll employees; provide access to
   educational activities to help employees and leaders practice collaboration
   and communication skills. Ensure virtual meetings are accessible through
   closed captioning and recordings and send documents to review in advance
   whenever possible.16
 * Set up regular check-ins and opportunities for employees to share how things
   are going. These can take the form of quick polls, leader or team “office
   hours,” mentoring conversations, and peer coaching, to name a few.17


DIVERSITY AND ORGANIZATIONAL RESILIENCE

A growing body of research shows that D&I helps navigate uncertainty and build
resilience across multiple stages of a crisis and recovery. The same leadership
and cultural skills that drive workplace inclusion on a “regular day” can
support crisis management and build resilience during times of change and
recovery.18

D&I considerations are vital during difficult times and important to building a
more resilient and equitable workplace, one that can facilitate difficult
conversations and support employees who often remain marginalized throughout
their careers.19 Indeed, data suggest that more diverse and inclusive companies
substantially outperformed others during the Great Recession.20 Within the
workplace, resilience entails an organization’s ability to reinvent and renew,
as well as overcome barriers to change.21

Workplace diversity boosts crisis recovery by building organizational and team
resilience. Specifically, diversity builds capabilities during the three stages
of the resilience process, as outlined in a recent Harvard Business Review
article: anticipation, coping, and adaptation.22

 * Anticipation pertains to the awareness and communication around potential
   risks to the organization. Resilient organizations are ready to respond to
   high-risk events, however low their probability. D&I supports this process by
   helping identify critical issues, prepare for the future, and prevent
   groupthink.
 * Coping focuses on how organizations manage uncertainty during a crisis.
   Coping often requires alliance-building skills and leaders’ ability to work
   with both internal and external partners to craft solutions and maximize
   resources for recovery. D&I activities advance the communication, problem
   solving, and alliance-building capabilities vital to coping.
 * Adaptation speaks to what is needed to recover from a crisis and to process
   responses to change, acceptance, and growth. Effective diversity management
   enhances adaptation by providing tools to navigate change, increase awareness
   about challenges and opportunities, and encourage openness during difficult
   times, limiting bias and groupthink.

Accessibility StatementCompliance status

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone
and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the broadest
possible audience, regardless of ability.

To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web
Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA
level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people
with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us
ensure that the website is accessible to blind people, people with motor
impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as
accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that
allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user
interface) and design it to their personal needs.

Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the
background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application
remediates the website’s HTML, adapts its functionality and behavior for
screen-readers used by blind users, and for keyboard functions used by
individuals with motor impairments.

If you wish to contact the website’s owner please use the website's form

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet
Applications) technique, alongside various behavioral changes, to ensure blind
users visiting with screen-readers can read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s
functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they
immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can
browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of
the most important screen-reader requirements:

 1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a process that learns the website’s
    components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when
    updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with
    meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide
    accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons,
    search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs;
    element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. 
    
    Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images. It
    provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based
    description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not
    described. It will also extract texts embedded within the image using an OCR
    (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader
    adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard
    combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn
    the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
    
    These adjustments are compatible with popular screen readers such as JAWS,
    NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.
    
    
 2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the
    website’s HTML and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the
    website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the
    website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow
    keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key,
    navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill
    them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.
    
    Additionally, keyboard users will find content-skip menus available at any
    time by clicking Alt+2, or as the first element of the site while navigating
    with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by
    moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, not allowing
    the focus to drift outside.
    
    Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F”
    (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

   screen-reader is installed on the blind user’s computer, and this site is
   compatible with it.
 * Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables
   motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab,
   Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M”

   jump to specific elements.

Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments
 1. Font adjustments – users can increase and decrease its size, change its
    family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
 2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as
    light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color
    schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds with over seven different coloring
    options.
 3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click
    of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs,
    and CSS flashing transitions.
 4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize essential elements such
    as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered
    elements only.
 5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other
    issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the
    entire website instantly.
 6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine linked to Wikipedia and
    Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of
    phrases, initials, slang, and others.
 7. Additional functions – we allow users to change cursor color and size, use a
    printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

Assistive technology and browser compatibility

We aim to support as many browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so
our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as
possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major
systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share, including Google
Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS, and NVDA
(screen readers), both for Windows and MAC users.

Notes, comments, and feedback

Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their
needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are
in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological
solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our
accessibility, adding, updating, improving its options and features, and
developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal
level of accessibility following technological advancements. If you wish to
contact the website’s owner, please use the website's form
