Welcome to Diversity Champion Services' first post!
It is a vitalizing moment to announce the official launch of Diversity Champion Services' DEEI Hub, a branch created to provide straightforward, proven solutions that foster a professional culture of Diversity, Equity, Empathy and Inclusion in workspaces.
Alongside the DEEI Hub, introducing, "It's easy to be a diversity champion!" blog is truly thrilling. This platform is created for sharing insightful articles, hr and recruitment outsourcing tips, and tested solutions on how to be a strong, effective advocate for yourself and others.
My aim with this blog is to empower professionals by providing them with the knowledge and tools necessary to create positive change for themselves and energize their performance and career goals. As well, I will answer certain questions from my subscribers, clients, colleagues, and candidates, and spark discussions based on shared experiences.
About DCS and why I founded a DEEI driven firm
Diversity Champion Services is born out of expertise, individuation, dignity, and true grit.
It is a powerful experience to finally be working authentically at my 360 finest.
I opened DCS to operate openly as a gender-fluid HR expert. Being free to be myself generated a lot of productive momentum and helped me build my firm out of my gained knowledge and determination.
Having designed and developed the content for the DCS website, I offer services and solutions that I am confident in delivering. As our business expands, I will introduce new options that are in-demand.
The consultants I partner with in our field are dedicated and trained in DEEI principles, and possess extensive expertise in human resources and/or recruitment.
I am a french Canadian living in Vancouver, B.C. with a background in English and Political Science focused on labour relations. I enjoy participating in debates, understanding opposing viewpoints, and attaining new insights through the amalgamation of ideas.
I apply this method to my professional endeavours, work principles and business practices.
My 15+ years of expertise grew out of continuous academic commitment, earned professional experience and practical networking knowledge gained out of hard work and constant research.
I advocate for a liberating, competitive collaboration that generates profits and opportunities. This motive is another reason that led me to establish my outsourcing firm.
Embracing self-respect and integrity, while adopting a balanced lifestyle that promotes sustainable development, is vital and highly beneficial for all.
Professional Pride & Dignity
Pride and dignity are essential in any work environment. Employers do not select candidates who are feeling down, lack self-assurance, or have insufficient technical and communication skills. Hiring managers seek honest, confident, skilled, and loyal employees across all levels of the organization. In this sense, everyone is expected to be and perform at their best.
Following this direct logic, it is anticipated that every member will be authentic and proud. When we are invited to be ourselves as our best, we show up wearing clothes and other symbols and accessories that we feel inspire us. We also openly display our true typology and characteristics because it is uplifting and energizing to do so.
With this truth in mind, it should be no shock if a team member showcases an original, unconventional style, such as wearing vibrant cultural attire or perhaps being more flamboyant or reserved.
If the behavioural variance falls within functional business conduct and attire, it should be accepted and even valued, at least in principle and officially.
When employees exhibit an introverted or extroverted energy that contrasts with their group or their gender roles assigned at birth to their sex, and find themselves called into the Human Resource office to face floor complaints, it becomes clear that more conscientious effort must be initiated to expand the collective understanding.
The facts are simple. Lopsided policies, favouritism, being arbitrary and selective with how we implement our values, principles, and policies will create complex problems and allow automated toxic behaviour to play out naturally. These programmings were formed out of early years of development and high school when we are not aligned, secure or adept.
Alternatively, promoting a balance approach to employee policies, procedures and addressing the issues where they are as they are is functional and sustainable. Fundamentally, it is the law of nature at play, contrast driving progress.
Sustained balance supports short and long term growth while a skewed success gained at the expanse of a few is exhausting and splitting. Paying yearly salaries to employees so they can be the social scapegoat is costly and invites regression from all sides.
Similarly, group tensions limit what is shared from other members who may feel they are the next targets. This means that their polished achievements will be closeted.
Their business knowledge gained from other regions, or from distinct abilities and learning patterns, may be left silent even though they tested different techniques and
strategies to achieve better results.
Their determination to overcome challenges and still perform as equals is highly valuable and exemplary. Sharing together adds to the sum of our own skills, our career portfolio, to the team and business as a whole.
