Because building a truly diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture isn’t a one-and-done deal – it requires ongoing dialogue. Regular communication keeps DEIB values at the forefront. It reminds everyone of the shared goals, reinforces training takeaways, and continuously signals that leadership is committed for the long haul, not just during special events or crises.
ChangeEngine provides the means to weave DEIB messaging into the fabric of daily work life. You can use it to celebrate cultural holidays, share educational tidbits (like ‘inclusive language of the month’ tips), spotlight personal stories from employees of different backgrounds, and announce workshops or ally training sessions. By automating these touchpoints, you ensure DEIB themes are consistently communicated, creating awareness and sparking conversations across the organization.
Absolutely. In fact, planning ahead for things like Black History Month, Pride Month, International Women’s Day, or Diwali celebrations is a breeze with ChangeEngine. You can set up a calendar of communications – maybe a kickoff message at the start of the month, weekly highlights honoring relevant figures or facts, and event reminders for any related activities your company is hosting. The platform will then send these messages out at the right times, so you never miss acknowledging an important observance.
A wide variety: you could share employee spotlights (like interviews or stories from colleagues about their experiences), educational infographics or graphs explaining concepts like unconscious bias or inclusive practices, invitations to DEI training sessions or employee resource group meetings, and recaps after an event (like summarizing key points from a DEI panel discussion).
Yes, and it’s a fantastic way to build community. You can use the platform to send a monthly ERG newsletter, for example, that might include an interview with a member, upcoming meeting dates, and an open invite for new members to join. Or maybe you send out a “Story of the Month” where an employee shares something about their culture or background. Broadcasting these through ChangeEngine ensures these important voices are heard widely, not just in small circles. It helps employees learn about each other and find common ground or appreciation for differences.
One size doesn’t always fit all. ChangeEngine’s segmentation lets you adapt messages if needed. For example, if you have a global workforce, you might time messages to reach folks during their working hours or even translate key communications into local languages. Or you might send a follow-up only to managers giving them tips on how to discuss a DEI initiative with their teams. Even when messages go to everyone, you can make sure the language is inclusive (avoiding slang or idioms that don’t translate across cultures) – basically the platform gives you the control to fine-tune who gets what and how, so every communication respects the diversity of your audience.
They can share feedback through channels linked via ChangeEngine. For instance, you could include a survey link asking for thoughts after a DEI training or an anonymous question form for an upcoming town hall on inclusion. While ChangeEngine itself broadcasts the messages, those messages can invite dialogue – like encouraging people to attend a listening session or join an open discussion forum. By consistently asking for input and promoting avenues for conversation, you turn communications into two-way engagement, which is crucial for DEIB progress.
Some impacts are qualitative, but you can gather quantitative signs too. Through ChangeEngine, you’ll see engagement metrics – if people are opening your DEIB newsletters and clicking on resources, that’s a good sign of interest. More importantly, you might track participation rates in DEIB events or training sign-ups (did those increase once you started regular communications?). Over time, you can correlate these with bigger picture metrics like employee survey scores on belonging or diversity. If those are trending up and you’re seeing more diverse voices being heard (maybe more people joining ERGs or more cross-cultural conversations happening), it suggests your communications are helping nurture a more inclusive culture.
