2.2 Designing an Inclusive People Practice Initiative
To design an inclusive people practice initiative and ensure its inclusivity after implementation, I focus on integrating inclusivity from the outset and continuously evaluating it afterward.
Designing Inclusive Initiatives:
When designing an inclusive initiative, I make sure to involve diverse perspectives from the start. For example, when I developed a new employee onboarding program, I began by conducting consultations and focus groups with employees from various departments, backgrounds, and levels within the organisation. This approach ensures that the program addresses the unique needs and experiences of different groups (Tsipursky, 2023). I also sought feedback from diversity and inclusion officers and external experts to identify any potential biases or gaps. In another instance, while creating a mentorship program, I gathered input from underrepresented groups and tailored the program to provide equal opportunities for all participants. This approach allowed me to design a program that resonated with a broader audience and met diverse needs.
Checking Inclusivity Post-Implementation:
After implementing an initiative, I find it crucial to assess its effectiveness in being inclusive. One way I do this is through formal and informal feedback mechanisms. For instance, after launching the onboarding program, I conducted surveys and interviews with new hires from various backgrounds to gauge their experiences and identify areas for improvement. Additionally, I analysed participation data to ensure the initiative was reaching and benefiting all groups equally. In the case of the mentorship program, I used surveys and participation metrics to check its inclusivity ( Harver, 2021). I discovered that while the program was well-received, certain groups were underrepresented. This insight led me to make targeted adjustments, such as additional outreach efforts and tailored resources, to ensure the program met the needs of all employees.
