Diversity and Inclusion Best Practices for Employee Engagement: Pay Equity and Transparency

It should come as no surprise that people want transparency and pay equity, and as an ethical business owner, you should want to provide that. When it comes to diversity and inclusion practices, pay equity is at the top of the list.

Pay equity affects an organization’s reputation, and you can’t expect your employees to be engaged in their work when they don’t feel fairly acknowledged for their work. So where do you start?

–        Gather information to identify pay gaps

–        Identify potential areas of risk for pay gaps

–        Evaluate opportunities for equity as it pertains to race, gender, or LGBTQ+ status

Compensation affects your employees every day and it can affect their personal life if they’re unable to make ends meet. If someone is under the impression that someone who completes an equal amount of work to them gets more compensation, you can’t reasonably expect them to be equally as engaged. If you aren’t implementing practices to gather insights on this yet, now’s the time to ask yourself what you can do.

Questions for leaders:

  • What measures do you take to ensure transparency and pay equity?
  • Do you think you could do more?
  • Does this present a notable challenge to leaders?

Diversity and Inclusion Best Practices for Employee Engagement: Reduce Recruitment Bias

Diversity and inclusion are imperative for employee engagement. There’s no such thing as a healthy workplace that doesn’t place value on diversity and create a culture of inclusion. It’s natural to gravitate towards people and energy that seem familiar, but it is imperative that your recruiting team is trained against unconscious bias.  

These days, there are all types of programs that HR departments can use for recruitment processes. You can do things like filter candidates strictly by their skills and experience, so you know that each candidate is being evaluated solely on their ability to do the job. 

Questions for leaders:

  • What programs do you use for recruiting?
  • Are you screening candidates based on skills before they come in for an interview?
  • What are you doing to ensure an inclusive recruitment process that avoids any bias?

Diversity and Inclusion Best Practices for Employee Engagement: Improving Visibility

The engagement culture you create in the workplace trickles down to the experience you give to your customers, and ensuring diversity and inclusion is more important than ever. While it might seem easy enough to talk about diversity and inclusion, it’s an entirely different thing to take actionable steps toward creating an ideal work environment.

The first thing to consider is visibility—identifying the diversity of your workforce in order to better understand where your efforts should start.

When you take advantage of diversity metrics, you’re in a much better position to implement new initiatives to promote a culture of inclusion. 

Questions for leaders:

  • Are you currently taking actionable steps towards improved diversity practices in the workplace?
  • Do you have anything in place to gather important metrics of your workforce? If not, what is your plan?
