“I think organizations have typically approached inclusivity from a very narrow perspective,” says April Hennessey, DEI practice lead for Blanchard. “They look internally and ask, 'What can we do here to make employees feel like they belong?'”
“High-impact organizations inspire and engage employees around inclusion and belonging holistically from three different dimensions,” says Jeff Cole, a Blanchard solutions architect who specializes in designing talent development strategies and programs aligned with organizations’ priorities and culture.
“In terms of talent: it’s about how an organization retains and grows talent (internal), how an organization attracts talent (external) and how an organization attracts and retains raving fans of their brand (marketplace).”
