Who is a Changemaker and do we need one?
Although Changemaker’s definition is fairly intuitive, we don’t always define ourselves that way. Nor do we always think of our organization this way. And yet so many of us, so many organizations influence, activate, inspire change, and shape our way of thinking, calibrates behaviors and decisions. To be a Changemaker is to subscribe to the mission of “I want something better for myself and my community. I don’t want to be an observer, I don’t want to watch. It wants to be involved in change’. It’s also a desire to learn and share experience with others. experience with others. Changemakers in the organization can be found everywhere-it’s your fellow ERGs (employee networks), it’s your leader and leaderettes who build competencies of inclusive leadership, is your General Manager who not only emphasizes the the role of DEI in the organization’s culture , but communicates in an inclusive way over coffee office. It’s also you-submitting ideas during the brainstorming session. At the heart of Changemaker lies the world’s simplest intention – “I care.”
I personally am extremely grateful for all the Changemakers I meet on a daily basis – in different contexts and in different experiences. They open my head, drills where concreted, leaves me with a reflection that explodes and turns into something concrete.
You will have and opportunity to meet a few Changemakers with such a power of influence. All you have to do is enter our new Changemakers zone, which has just launched.
We also want the DEI community to build on supporting, sharing and learning from each other.
Why does it matter?
For us at Diversity Hub, supporting the Changemakers community is a mission that has guided us from the very beginning and continues to wake us up every morning. We wake up hungry for new experiences, solutions and your stories. We want the community We also want the DEI community to build on supporting, sharing and learning from each other. And there is much to share, as we are more mature in our DEI culture efforts. We have developed approaches, we have successes, we are doing more and more and bolder. But, interestingly, this is where the paradox often comes in. It turns out that many of the employees are not aware of our internal activities.
The classic reaction of ‘is it really in our place?” can be copied and pasted in virtually any industry. As a result, it is difficult to engage our people in a common mission, which is the DEI culture. The organization’s strong DEI profile has added value. An employer’s diverse, consistent and well-exposed DEI activities also affect candidates‘ perception of the brand.
It is therefore worth investing in socializing your DEI profile and DEI image (brand). Stronger exposure is needed for the successes of the DEI, for individuals (Changemakers) and teams breaking down barriers and putting the culture on strong legs. The Changemaker can be your strongest image element and a superpower for your organization. And a dedicated new Changemakers zone.
