the world is evolving rapidly yet

we're not embracing inclusion at the

same pace

we're all different and our differences

can generate various points of view

and contribute to creativity and

innovation

that's why at dupont we believe in

embracing diverse talent

valuing each member of our team and

providing

inclusive leadership we can utilize our

differences to better achieve our goals

and objectives

Unconscious Bias

we've made a lot of progress yet we

strive to go

even further there are still people

working in environments where they feel

as though they don't belong

we cannot all contribute ideas if women

only hold 20 percent of seats in the

boardrooms of top

companies globally unconscious bias in

the workplace is just that

unconscious it occurs before we realize

and negatively shapes our assessments of

people especially when

it comes to decisions such as hiring

promoting and developing talent

research shows that diverse inclusive

teams

are not only more innovative they're

also more engaged and creative

35 percent of diverse teams outperform

less diverse teams

while diverse companies are 70 percent

more likely to capture new markets

due to its subtlety unconscious bias

leads to

unintentional exclusion but you have the

Lead Inclusively

ability to influence change

right now open yourself up to new ways

of doing things

to lead inclusively and for example

mentor someone who's different from you

give an assignment to someone other than

your normal go-to person

when promoting think about who's made

contributions that you've overlooked

ask the shy or introverted employee for

input during a meeting

get to know someone different from you

by asking them to lunch

speak up when you hear an inappropriate

or disrespectful comment set in your

presence

don't assume the answer ask questions to

understand points of view that are

different than yours

monitor yourself and observe when your

bias is getting in the way

so commit to being consciously inclusive

respect differences be accountable and

embrace possibilities

imagine the impact you can have

one person one gesture one moment at a

time
