There is a look that I recognize on the faces of my HR colleagues when I broach the topic of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB). The look that says, “I’m not going to be the one to go there.” I know this look because I have worn this look myself. What I have realized is that “the look” doesn’t come from a lack of recognition of the importance of this unwieldy topic. It comes from the Fear of Getting it Wrong.

A positive workplace culture thrives on good communication, collaboration, and a shared purpose. Unfortunately, this can be easily disrupted by harassment, bullying, and discrimination. Many organizations don’t know how to deal with these types of behaviours and find it easier to ignore them. In the face of inaction, many employees will take it upon themselves to be judge and jury. I refer to this as “trial by water cooler”.
