Diversity: 7 Actions That Must Be Normalized to Increase Diversity

Over the past 2 years, we have seen an increase in companies attempting to address diversity and inclusion within their respective companies and organizations across the United States. I came across an article by Jennifer Tardy published on December 14, 2021. She focused on 7 actions that must be normalized to increase diversity within companies and organizations. The actions are listed below:

• Normalize saying, "I don't know what the hell I am doing!"

• Normalize saying exactly what you mean.

• Normalize identifying workplace policies, practices, and behaviors that drive underrepresentation.

• Normalize sharing accountability.

• Normalize sourcing in spaces that are overrepresented for untapped populations.

• Normalize auditing personal networks for diversity.

• Normalize calling people in.

What are your thoughts on this list? Do you think these will be helpful if normalized? Please leave your comments.
