How to start the D&I conversation among employees

Many organizations have dedicated diversity and inclusion programs or are putting initiatives in place.

Having a platform to give your employees a channel to express their concerns and ask questions is a key part of this effort. Many communicators need a virtual space to help move conversations forward. That’s where Yammer comes in.

At our upcoming virtual conference, The Communicator’s Role in Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Sept. 17-18, you’ll learn five ways to use Yammer to bolster your DE&I efforts:

1. Create communities. Some organizations already have diversity and inclusion groups in place and need an ongoing space to connect between meetings, conferences and events. If you don’t have a dedicated diversity and inclusion community, this is a great place to start. Find interested employees and empower them to own and contribute to a Yammer community. Start with a broad focus, and then narrow it down to focus on specific initiatives as needed. Sample groups can be women, parents, multicultural celebrations, etc.
