Social Networking and Inclusion

Most organizations when creating diversity and inclusion focus their efforts on top leadership or middle management.  Another group that also needs to be addressed is the broad based workforce.   This group will experience behaviors related to diversity and inclusion in a more direct way than any other element in the organization.   They are also the medium through which diversity and inclusion can spread in viral, immediate way.  We recently developed a new program entitled Small Acts of Inclusion, a behvaior based program through which behaviors that promote inclusion can be spread in an immediate manner (One person I was speaking with characterized it as an injection of inlcusion into the corporate bloodstream).   Through the Small Acts of Inclusion program, an individual can practice behavior that promote diversity and inclusion on their own, and spread them through their own social networks.  This can be done in person, and using technology, creating a viral spread that it is impossible to replicate through a traditional effort.

After looking at our free e-book on Small Acts of Inclusion, I invite you for one week to incorporate five of the behavior into your daily routine both at home and at work and see what the effect is on your co-workers and those around you (both in person, and virtually if you use Social Networking applications like Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter).
