How to Measure and Fix DEI
Hubert Rampersad, Ph.D.
“American companies, colleges and universities need to reconsider their corrupt DEI policies, ensuring they are fair, transparent, and effective. While it’s important to prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion in leadership hiring processes, it’s equally crucial to ensure that the most qualified individuals are selected based on their expertise and capabilities. Simply hiring leaders in response to the Black Lives Matter and gender movement may not guarantee the desired outcomes and could potentially compromise the quality of higher education leadership. To address these concerns, leaders need to move beyond diversity, equity, inclusion, gender, and race theater, and instead focus on implementing sustainable DEI initiatives. Rebuilding trust in requires a reconnection with authenticity, humility, and integrity. By fostering empathy and promoting inner alignment, leaders can create an ethical and sustainable culture of ECO-DEI within American companies and education institutions. This shift in focus will ensure that DEI efforts are embedded in the core values and practices of American companies, colleges and universities, benefiting all members of the community.” –-Hubert Rampersad
Companies, universities and colleges must cultivate sustainable cultures that promote talent development and foster a sense of involvement, acceptance, respect, and connection to thrive. These cultures should encourage ethical, harmonious, and respectful interactions among individuals, fostering a synergetic culture of trust, learning, open communication, and innovation, ultimately leading to the best results. It is essential to value diverse thinking from individuals with different backgrounds and perspectives. This new approach, known as ECO-DEI emphasizes the need for a holistic and long-term view of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.
ECO-DEI Life Cycle Scan
To measure and fix diversity, equity, and inclusion at universities and colleges, institutions need to establish a comprehensive and effective system of metrics to track their progress. Institutions struggle to measure the effectiveness of their DEI initiatives. Managing DEI effectively becomes nearly impossible without proper measurement. Therefore, I present the unique ECO-DEI life cycle scan. The ECO-DEI life cycle scan serves as an assessment system universities and colleges can use to effectively manage and cultivate diversity in their workforce.
It outlines the fundamental characteristics required to create a work environment that values and promotes diverse perspectives while encouraging respectful interactions among individuals. The ultimate goal is to ensure that no individual is excluded based on their differences, thus enabling them to achieve their full potential. With this assessment system, companies, universities and colleges can comprehensively and systematically measure their diversity, inclusion, belonging, and eco-innovation levels. The purpose of this system is to evaluate the current state in these areas and create a work environment that encourages the expression and openness of different perspectives while promoting respectful interactions between individuals. Importantly, this tool aims to ensure that nobody is excluded based on their “otherness” and that everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential. …..Read further
