Is SHRM abandoning equity? Join Brittany and Karen as they dissect SHRM's rather confusing shift from diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) to a narrower focus on inclusion and diversity (I&D). In this episode, Brittany and Karen:
- Dig into the implications of omitting "equity" from the equation, especially given its critical role in creating truly inclusive workplaces.
- Explore the potential disconnect between SHRM's stated ethos and their real-world implementation, emphasizing that equity is essential for any discussion about inclusion.
- Question whether SHRM is avoiding the complex issue of defining "equity" and its role as a leading HR organization in setting the standard rather than sidestepping the challenge.
- Highlight the need for clear frameworks and actionable tools to help HR practitioners navigate these complex issues, especially when engaging with leadership.
Drawing insights from a Forbes article written by DEI expert Aparna Rae, Karen & Brittany explore her recommendations for the HR community, such as advocating for better representation and considering the impact of SHRM's decisions on the industry. We also reflect on SHRM CEO Johnny Taylor's communication strategy, the risks he has taken with this pivot, and the timing of SHRM's announcement on Black Women's Equal Pay Day. The episode wraps up with a discussion about the importance of defining equity and how the organization's focus on civility might shape the future of DEI initiatives.
