Most of the conversations about gender inclusion and opportunity highlight the inequalities that exist for females in the workplace. Much of the advice on confronting these inequities focuses on providing women ways to navigate the workplace…as it currently exists! But in this episode of THE DIFFERENCE PROJECT we want to have a different conversation. Instead of talking about how to make the 20th century workplace work, we want to begin a discussion on a new design for the workplace.

In this episode Gena talks about the differences between diversity and inclusion. Gena shares about the discomfort around inclusion and the strategies to apply.

Gena and I get into a great conversation about our optimism for the future, having a side hustle, and why we’re always talking about race! You don’t want to miss this final interview for Season 1 and 2021 of Diversity Dish. You won’t be disappointed.

Gena Cox, Founder and CEO of Feels Human, is an industrial/organizational psychologist with expertise in measuring and supporting inclusive behaviors.

This episode is how to create engaging and inclusive employee experiences which leaders are responsible for.

There is no such thing as “African American history” there is “American History” with all the good AND bad stuff. It is important to understand the history that has brought us to this point. And then make choices to make things better.

Inclusion should be a leadership strategic consideration. Many leaders focus disproportionately on task performance and less on the human experience aspect of the business operation.

Leaders must be intentional when it comes to inclusion. Are you part of the solution or are you making the problem worse?

In this episode, we discuss the importance of how leaders show up in the workplace and the messages they consciously, and sometimes unconsciously, send to their people. We look at how organizational leadership impacts inclusion as well as how leadership is itself impacted in return by an inclusive workplace. We also explore how we can measure progress and the steps each one of us need to take to move towards more inclusive cultures within our organizations.
