Why Engagement Is Not One-Size Fits All — And Why It Is THE Best Measure of Inclusion
Engagement — which leads to retention and greater productivity and, therefore, to greater business results — is beneficial to all employees across their vast diversity. But engagement is in the eye of the beholder. A company’s culture may be highly engaging for certain demographic groups but not others. Or different groups may be more engaged by different engagement drivers. This is why it’s imperative to break down engagement results by diversity dimensions. It’s in the variances between groups that a company’s story of inclusion is revealed.
In this Diversity Best Practices session we will be exploring the keys to engaging the different racial/ethnic, generational, and gender groups. And are there ways to measure the engagement of groups that rarely get counted in engagement surveys such as LGBT and people with disability? How do we take into account the engagement of people with multidimensional identities such as those who are multiracial or when comparing, say, Millennial women of color with Millennial white women? How to explain counterintuitive results where white males consistently show some of the lowest engagement scores while Latinos the highest? And what is the role of flexibility and technology in the engagement scores of the most diverse workforce ever?
