Diversity Inclusion, Equality Belonging; against Empathy, Agenda, Busted..

 

Diversity is about #different #perspectives

Simon Sinek says, different perspectives with same set of common values and goals will thrive.

He says, he would rather hire someone who has no idea about that job and then this person brings whole new perspective..

Now, look at the recent hires into the roles of #Diversity #Inclusion, #Equality, #Belonging and they have experience in #DEIB and the look at the jobs on LinkedIn for #DEIB and you see them looking for a "type"..

Most JDs look like an event manager, who wears a billboard of #DEI all the time and makes every discussion not end without talking about #DEI...

Imagine, we had not had this role earlier and did we really trample upon civil rights, gay rights, ethic rights, gender rights, experience, age and backgrounds?

Remember rights are won after a battle, a long drawn battle and you think a lone #DEI trumpet and an event manager would bring such rights to the #Deprived?

Think again. I will not be surprised when one company looks for #DEI specialist, they will hire a woman, then they will look for #DEI experience and then they will look for industry match and MNC to MNC match to everything match!

#$uck you! It doesn't work that way and it will not not be successful as there is no outcry, no protests, no idols like #NelsonMandela (Apartheid, millions victimized) and Civil Rights , 25 years in jail and Civil Rights movement , emancipating millions and then Dream Comes True! but at a cost of brutal #assassination of #KingJr

Start #DEI as a collective reform...from top to policies to treating customers, employees, nature, make all places and communication and platforms #Inclusive...

#Diversity can't find place without constant and stable change through #Inclusion first...



What actually happened at the three companies

The allegations were more specific than simply "these companies had DEI programs."

IBM. DOJ alleged that IBM used demographic goals, a "diversity modifier" linking compensation to demographic targets, altered interview practices to identify diverse candidates, and restricted some mentoring, training and leadership-development opportunities on the basis of protected characteristics. IBM paid $17,077,043. DOJ says IBM also took voluntary remedial steps, including terminating or modifying certain practices. IBM denied liability.

Deloitte. DOJ alleged that business units tracked demographic goals, that some senior leaders' evaluations—and for roughly 150 senior leaders, potentially compensation—were connected to progress against those goals, and that race or sex entered some promotion and staffing processes. DOJ also alleged that programs including Springboard and Compass restricted eligibility based on race or sex. Deloitte paid $21.5 million, while denying discriminatory conduct.

Accenture. The newest case goes further into the mechanics. DOJ alleged that Accenture Federal Services tracked racial and sex composition using red/yellow/green indicators; gave additional visibility to promotion candidates who advanced demographic goals; maintained a separate promotion pipeline; and operated some development opportunities with eligibility limited by race. Accenture agreed to pay $25 million and denied discrimination or liability.

What is The Hay Group Total Reward Framework

The Hay Group Total Reward Framework A new way of understanding reward Reward strategies must be anchored in business reality to be effective. Which means linking it to your business strategy – and the needs of your employees as well as your organisation. Our Total Reward Framework helps you optimise reward, no matter how challenging the conditions. The issue Remuneration tends to be one of the worst-managed parts of an organisation’s cost structure. But with 10-70 per cent of total costs wrapped up in it, reward cannot be ignored, particularly in a downturn. To be effective, reward programmes must reflect the needs of the business, now and in the future. Only if they are tied closely to company strategy, business performance and the needs of employees can reward programmes deliver the ROI that is needed in tough times[MK1] . The Hay Group Total Reward Framework takes strategy as a starting point – and it focuses on total reward: every financial measure together with no...

Aon Hewitt Total Rewards Framework

Aon Hewitt Total Rewards Framework The Aon Hewitt model and approach believes in considering Total Rewards as a business tool and very much linked to overall business objectives! Reward as understood is a very complex mechanism and some efforts of correcting the base pay and titling in a hurry by many MNCs in India have done a bigger crime by trying to correct it by market adjustments without looking at the talent map, complexity and expectations out of role and mapping it against the benchmark. Titles in India are a big misnomer and hardly any survey on compensation ever probes and captures and calibrates the tangible outcome based bench marking! If we dive deep, we will find that the key factors of Education, Experience and Quality of Education, Quality and relevance of experience and education are not calculated granular! A diploma holder technical manager gets the salary benchmarked for the top T-school manager with top quality experience in a challenging and break-through...

CORPORATE CULTURE AND FIVE STAGES OF ASSIMILATION

If the study of culture has a predominant guru, it would be Edgar H Schein , Professor Emeritus at MIT. Schein, who has studied the elements of culture for over half a century has a simple there-layer model for understanding corporate culture (Schein, 2009). The three levels are: ü   1.  Artifacts. These are made up of visible structures, processes and behavior. Easy to observe, artifacts are the outermost layer. ü   2.  Espoused values. These are the strategies and philosophies at play. They include what people focus on and ‘how things get done around here’. ü   3.  Underlying assumptions. These are the unconscious beliefs and perceptions rooted in the history of the business. This innermost layer is built through collective experiences including past successes and failures. Corporate culture is as powerful as it is multifaceted. The best way to understand it is to experience it first-hand. Be immersed in both the explicit behavior and implici...
