What speed is your inclusion

What speed is your inclusion EYs Heather Geary writes: I listened to  an episode on my favourite podcast  recently (Freakonomics its great, you should really check it out).  The episode was a replay, and I had heard it when it first played about a year ago.  The theme of the episode is ‘in praise of incrementalism’ â€" the premise being that our world undervalues the power of small incremental steps towards progress. I imagine this podcast is reassuring to anyone in my position â€" patience is a necessity in DI work because dramatic change doesn’t happen very often.  However, we have had some bigger changes over the course of the last year â€" the Australian marriage equality vote, #MeToo and EYs recent cultural diversity targets for example â€" so I was interested to see what I now felt about incremental progress versus quick changes. Taking my first example â€" the Australian marriage equality vote.  This seemed like a quick change on the surface, but on closer examination, was actually the result of incrementalism â€" many small steps taken over the years, and a conversation that has matured over time â€" both inside our firm and outside.  Whilst it did generate debate, I was really pleased to see that at EY it was largely respectful debate â€" because many people had been educated on how to talk about LGBTI differences and issues. #MeToo was a different matter, seemingly exploding out of nowhere, simmering quietly for awhile and continuing to make impact in recent months.  While we had been talking constantly about gender equality over the past years â€" we focused on more “professional” or “developmental” themes, not the elephant in the room â€" the raw and deeper level of #MeToo issues.    We were largely unprepared for this conversation and I think that has left many of us deeply uncomfortable with having it.  Chief Executive Women and Male Champions of Change released a report a few weeks ago acknowledging backlash that has stemmed from social change on this front, but does the backlash come from the change, or from the speed of change? These examples from the past year have strengthened my belief in the power of incrementalism, but has added the understanding that the dialogue is critical.  We need to talk more about our differences, even when it make us uncomfortable.  This is a given in inclusion work, but we must also challenge ourselves on what this means at an organisational level. For example, EY has just announced new cultural diversity targets:  30% culturally and linguistically diverse partners by 2022 and that promotions above manager rank should be proportional to the cultural diversity of the current rank.  Being closer to the start of our journey to organisation-wide cultural intelligence, we need to start talking about the dynamics of culture now.  We need to bust the stereotypes but appreciate the differences in core values that culture brings and we need to recognise how much of our leadership model is based on highly westernised cultural beliefs.  We need to walk the fine line between the conversation the organisation is ready to have and the conversation it needs to have and we need to make steady, incremental progress. This is what will bring us, step by step, closer to our goal of truly inclusive workplace â€" without wasting years ignoring the elephants in the room, or being at the mercy of disruptive inclusion that potentially decelerates advancement.    Because there is no silver bullet, quick fix or game changing panacea â€" just steady, incremental progress towards our goals, at a speed everyone can take together. Heather Geary is the Oceania Diversity Inclusiveness Leader at EY. This post was first published on LinkedIn. It is republished here with their kind permission.

How to Suit Up For an Interview - Resume Writer For You

How to Suit Up For an Interview Got your interview call? It’s time to prepare yourself for the final step in the selection process. Double check your documents and make sure that you have a professionally formatted resume. Go over the basic questions that are usually asked in interviews concerning the job profile for which you have applied. Wait! Have you worked out the attire that you would be donning on the day of the interview? I guess not. If you are going for an interview, then the safest bet is to stick to a format attire which usually includes a proper suit. The modern workplace has a good mix of men and women so it is important to understand the do’s and don’ts of wearing suits as applicable for both genders. Check out the following attire tips that you should consider before going for an interview. Interview Attire for Men Suit Stick to a two piece dark colored suit. Make sure that the suit is black, blue or gray. These colors are appropriate for an interview or any other formal occasion. Go for solid colors. Conservative strips can be selected if they are not distractive. You would also be required to choose between a single breasted and a double breasted suit based on your work profile and industry. Shirt Get a crisp white shirt that has been cleaned and ironed to perfection. You could also get a blue tailored shirt. Tie A conservative tie is the best choice. Make sure you get one that reaches mid belt. Socks Get socks in a color that matches your suit. Shoes Get polished shoes that match the color of your belt. Accessories / Jewelry Remove all obnoxious jewelry, especially visible body piercings. If you have tattoo, then make sure you cover it up. Fragrance Make sure you apply cologne sparingly before heading to the interview. Stress can make you perspire more than usual, so using cologne actually helps a lot. Bag / Folder It is not necessary to carry a bag. You can easily manage with a folder. But if you really need to bring along a bag, then make sure you get one that looks professional. Interview Attire for Women Suit Stick to a two piece dark colored pant or knee length skirt suit. In case you opt for a skirt, then wear dark tights or neutral colored panty hose. Shirt / Top Wear a crisp white or blue blouse along with a tailored shirt to get that perfect professional look. You could also wear a shell with a conservative neck line. Shoes Get polished closed toe shoes with moderate heel. Low heels work the best. Even if you have the best branded high heel shoes, now would be a good time to avoid flaunting them. Stick to the basics for the interview. Accessories / Jewelry Avoid multiple earrings or gaudy jewelry. Don’t over accessorize yourself. Use a neutral color nail polish to make it less distractive. The focus of the interview should be on your skills and capabilities, and not your makeup or nail polish. Fragrance You a perfume that is strong enough to mask body odor but not quite pungent to cause an explosion of fragrance. Bag / Folder It is not necessary to carry a bag. You can easily manage with a folder. But if you really need to bring along a bag, then make sure you get one that looks professional. A simple conservative bag will also do. Now that you know how to dress appropriately for the interview, go ahead and make a stunning impression on the recruiters. All the best for your awaited career opportunity. And don’t forget to take a professional resume with you. Trust me, it makes a lot of difference. Job Interview Tips
