I believe your definition of "equity" sounds more like "equality." "Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same resources or opportunities. Equity recognizes that each person has different circumstances and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome." - Milken Institute School of Public Health, George Washington University.

Will you share examples of how to get started having DEI conversations with your team and what would be a good exercise? Any employee survey examples that I can utilize to get an idea of where my team stands?

Sure, but it’s even easier to say “How hard are you actually trying to find them”….

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion - three different words that mean the same thing, QUOTAS!

Most HR departments should be abolished. They are a hindrance to hiring.

They’re failing with CRT in schools so the new philosophy must be to get the parents to do it.

"The easiest way to look at it"... I want to look at things in the correct way, not the easiest way.

How many non-white people apply for HR positions? Get in there and make the change you are talking about.

[grundlecheese]

They are all meaningless I’m an oppressed person terms. It’s bullshit!

DEI = Didn't Earn It.
I reject this DEI nonsense in its entirety and will not comply.

Thank you! For all the researching I've been doing for myself on self development and growing in my work place this was laid out very simply and enjoyable. Making it easier to communicate my passion on this subject.
