Diversity, Equity & Inclusion – Your insight and input wanted!!!

[Monique DawsonParticipant]

Hi All!

Marie, Jose Clossi (Newmont), Jenny Buxey (South32), Jane Everett (Crown Relocations) and myself are currently leading TEMI’s DE&I workstream – looking at how the TEMI community can practically look at their mobility programs to enhance their approach to DE&I. This is looking at small high impact initiatives, all the way through to dedicated programs and support models and is wanting to focus on all areas of DE&I.

We are looking for your ideas, suggestions and focus areas around what your company has done, ideas you might have and areas where you think TEMI could focus to really make the most of our workstream.

Any idea is a great one – and we’re looking forward to seeing all your input in this thread!

TEMI DE&I Workstream

Looking forward to seeing other suggestions, however some low hanging fruit (read: no budget/no cost) is to ensure language used throughout policies/intranet pages for global mobility is inclusive AND also specifically calling out parental leave application within the policy (often this isn’t actually included and many IA’s become parents whilst on secondment).

I agree Dimi – policy language is a really quick and simple way to start changing the conversation. Thanks for your input.

Another ‘quick win’ could be start tracking how diverse our mobile population is. Understanding the composition of our global workforce can prompt important conversations with team members (e.g., HR, Talent teams, global mobility peers, etc.) about promoting and elevating D&I within our organisations.

At a basic level tracking who is going working remote / going on assignment – gender, age, family composition) where they are going to and coming from, also analysing the distribution of employees across different job roles and levels within the organisation to identify any potential imbalances or opportunities for growth – can be a good starting point.
