Creating truly inclusive places where everyone can be themselves DEI Corner Posts championed by Gail Burgos (she/her/hers), senior vice president, Diversity Equity Inclusion, 1st Sentry and CEO of Burgos Consulting LLC
We all want a place where we can just be ourselves with no pressure to try and fit into a predetermined norm. The Wnet Member Inclusion Groups offer safe, informal spaces for members and allies to network and share while driving change toward a more inclusive industry.
Our new series, “What Does Inclusion Mean to You,” starts in September and will highlight our current Inclusion Groups (IGs) – Hispanic/Latino, Asian/Pacific Islander, Black/African American and Pride/LGBTQ. We will hear from the IG chairs about what inclusion means to them and learn about the groups’ successes, challenges and resources. We will share events that can help us to be more inclusive throughout the year.
It’s important that we think about inclusion every day in the workplace – in how we work with our associates, in how we deliver for our customers, in how we choose clients and partners. Inclusive companies are known for increasing team engagement, increasing retention and recruitment and stronger results. Inclusion gives us the opportunity to get best-in-class thinking from all over the world.
We welcome you to join any or all Wnet Inclusion Groups – and to suggest a new group based on who you identify with or want to support. Inclusion is every day and everyone! ______________________________________________________________________ Follow the DEI Corner for our new series, “What Does Inclusion Mean to You,” starting in September.
