Engaging brands with people is at the core of what we do. And because people are multifaceted in their backgrounds, abilities, perspectives, etc., research should be done in ways that are thoughtful, smart and conscientious. Because we have an obligation to the people whose voices we’re elevating. As a part of our DIBE (Diversity, Inclusion, Belonging and Equity) series “More Than a Month”, our team sat down to think about the important questions we continue to ask ourselves when conducting research with underrepresented groups. Looking to conduct research with underrepresented groups? We’re here to help. https://lnkd.in/gPbBcmpu   #marketresearch #research #representation #marketing

From the desk of Dr. Gerilyn Davis: Happy Friday!! Wow, March, here we come!! :-D I love witnessing little bits of Spring coming about. How do we create inclusion? My reply is one step at a time. The key is to set the tone that inclusion is a priority by giving it attention. Inclusion builds over time. When we keep it top of mind, we witness the value of it more often. With inclusion, we may be quick to jump straight into including others. Often, I suggest to start where you are. Start with the people who are currently in the organization. Do they feel included? Do they feel like they have value or that they matter? We start there. Then, we build to expand our outreach. Putting inclusive organizational culture at the forefront builds a solid foundation for inclusive hiring, marketing, and then consumers. While the outside-in approach may trigger the need, the inside-out approach makes it sustainable. Plus, it becomes joyful instead of feeling forced to do it. Enjoy the end of your week! #joyofinclusion #inclusionexpansion #inclusionontheslopes #SWORDInclusionSystem #PhaseFiveDailyAssessment #inclusionincludesyoutoo

🌟 Let's talk about INCLUSION. 🌟 🌈 Embracing diversity is not just a checkbox, it's about creating a tapestry where every thread is valued for the unique color and texture it brings to the whole. ✨ Inclusion means actively seeking out different perspectives, listening with empathy, and building a community where everyone feels seen, heard, and respected. 🌟 Diversity is being invited to the party; inclusion is being asked to dance. Let's not just open the door, let's make sure everyone has a chance to shine on the dance floor of opportunity. ✨ In a world where we all blend together in harmony, the symphony of voices creates a masterpiece that resonates far beyond the boundaries of our differences. 🌈 When we embrace inclusion, we unleash the full potential of our teams, our organizations, and our society. It's not about fitting in, it's about standing out together. ✨ Let's challenge ourselves to not just preach diversity and inclusion but to live and breathe it every single day. After all, it's in the colorful mosaic of our differences that we find the true beauty of humanity. 🌟 So let's celebrate each other's uniqueness, embrace the richness of our varied experiences, and build a world where everyone has a seat at the table and a voice in the conversation. ✨ Inclusion is not a destination; it's a journey we must all embark on together, hand in hand, heart to heart. Let's take that first step today and create a future where everyone belongs and thrives. 🌈 Remember, true inclusion is not just about diversity of faces; it's about diversity of thoughts, ideas, and perspectives. Let's weave these threads together to create a tapestry that captures the essence of humanity in all its splendor. ✨ When we choose inclusion, we choose a path that leads us to a brighter, more vibrant world where every individual is celebrated for who they are. Let's walk this path together and make inclusion not just a goal but a reality in every aspect of our lives. 🌟 Let's be the change we wish to see in the world by fostering a culture of inclusion, respect, and belonging. Together, we can create a future where everyone's voice is heard, valued, and uplifted. #InclusionMatters #DiversityandInclusion #TogetherWeRise

🌟 Let's take a moment to celebrate the beauty of diversity! 🌟 --- 🌍 Diversity is not just a buzzword; it's the very essence of what makes our world vibrant and dynamic. Embracing diversity means opening our hearts and minds to new perspectives, experiences, and cultures. It's about recognizing and celebrating the richness that comes from different backgrounds coming together in harmony. --- 🌿 Each individual is like a unique flower in a garden, adding their own color and fragrance to the tapestry of humanity. When we cultivate a culture of diversity, we create a space where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to be their authentic selves. It's not just about tolerance; it's about genuine acceptance and inclusion. --- 🌺 Diversity challenges us to step out of our comfort zones and confront our biases and prejudices. It asks us to see beyond labels and stereotypes, to look deeper and discover the humanity that connects us all. In a world that often seeks to divide us, diversity is the bridge that unites us in our shared humanity. --- 🦋 Whether it's diversity in race, gender, age, or beliefs, each difference is a thread in the rich tapestry of our world. Let's celebrate these differences, learn from each other, and grow together as a global community. Embracing diversity isn't just the right thing to do; it's the essential thing to do for a brighter, more inclusive future. --- 💡 So, let's continue to champion diversity in all its forms, not just because it's politically correct, but because it's the very fabric of our collective strength. When we honor diversity, we unlock the door to endless possibilities and create a world where every voice is heard and valued. Together, let's build a more inclusive tomorrow, one that celebrates the mosaic of human experience. #CelebrateDiversity #InclusionMatters #EmbraceOurDifferences --- Thank you for taking the time to reflect on the power of diversity with me today. Let's continue these conversations and actions in our personal and professional lives to create a more inclusive world for all. 🌈🤝
