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
