Balance Global with Regional Needs Consider developing a global statement about respect, difference and the shared goals and values of the organization Link your global strategy to business performance and growth Remember that while gender is the most commonly targeted dimension of diversity across all geographic regions, wide variations exist in perceptions of diversity across different geographic regions; thus, best companies create regional definitions and customize policies accordingly Define diversity for each geographic region to align it with cultural norms and legal frameworks Emphasize dimensions of diversity that best address cultural issues and employee needs of the region Get local input; don’t impose your own agenda Meet people where they are Local/regional leadership buy-in is key CLC Brief -- Creating a Global Diversity Policy, October 2008
“Walk the Talk” – Model Inclusive Behavior for the Organization Set clear expectations for the organization and report against progress to ensure everyone knows it’s a priority for the company Seek out advice or opinions from diverse perspectives; move beyond your comfort zone Celebrate diversity and inclusion successes Speak up when you see colleagues making a diversity and inclusion misstep Be flexible in how you communicate with others from different cultural backgrounds Alternate times for global team meetings so that different time zones can share the “pain” of awkwardly timed meetings Listen and ask questions to avoid jumping to snap judgments about people
