Helping achieve both these goals is a robust performance measurement system specifically tailored to measure the organization’s commitment to being diverse and inclusive.

People Quit Their Boss… Not the Company!

When I give my ‘No Nonsense Retention’ speech to groups across the country, I get frustrated feedback from audience members about poor leadership hurting retention in their organization. Regardless of the level of leadership you hold in the organization, you will drive yourself crazy if you try to solve all of the location or facilities problems; much less the rest of the organization. Concentrate on your sphere of influence regardless of size and create your own little island within the organization by controlling what you can control… which is A LOT. What can you control? You can control the following items for sure:

Diversity and Inclusion – Return on Investment, part 4: Litigation, Fine, and Payout Reduction

Harassment litigation represents a catastrophic failure of an organization’s diversity and inclusion program. In these circumstances, the organization not only fell short of excellent performance but realized such aberrant behavior as to be non-compliant with applicable laws.

New Tool Release – Value of Employee Productivity

/in , /by

StrategyDriven contributors are pleased to announce the release of Diversity and Inclusion – Value of Employee Productivity.

Loss of productivity costs resulting from acts of incivility and poor managerial behavior are staggering and yet goes largely unrecognized. There is no financial statement line item, no general ledger entry, and no budget explicitly set aside for this expense that can cost an evenly modestly sized company hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. Likewise, those companies taking action to improve their workplace environments can realize significant financial rewards by doing so.

Using the StrategyDriven Value of Employee Productivity nomograph and method outlined here, organization leaders can gain a better appreciation for the direct monetary value associated with a change in employee productivity and begin to better value their diversity and inclusion initiatives.
