S3-E10. D.I.E.B. Vantage Points on Culture & Influence

Be Empactful

Dr. Robert Cialdini speaks about 6 different aspects of Influence: Reciprocity, Authority, Consistency, Consensus, Scarcity & Liking.

How one is influenced in the workplace to be aware of spaces?

This might sound a bit tricky, theoretical, & academic in nature but that's how it influences us while the culture is being established for an organization.

Welcome to Season 3 of Be Empactful Podcast, In this episode, we have Sashi, who is a Gender & Behavioral science professional & Social Scientist with expertise in sectoral research, CSR partnerships, gender, intervention, research, teaching at TISS along with 12+ yrs of experience.

We hear a lot of noise about diverse hiring, women in leadership positions in organizations, LGBTQ is to be made of something which brings in different conversations, biases, influences, thoughts, decisions, and so on.

It's under the broader discussion of D.I.E.&B where #Diversity leads to #Inclusivity to #Equity & creating a sense of #Belonging.

Diversity: We have been exposed to & grown with it in our entire life, which also impacts the ability to perceive and understand, & communicate what is going on. There is a certain privilege of these intersections, bringing in opportunities & exposure. As we come from various regions, belong to various genders, different labeled people, different qualities, thought processes, gender, class, caste, religion, and a lot of intersections keep on affecting us on an everyday basis.

To Inclusivity: What comes to your mind when you hear "good or bad", "right or wrong", "black & white", "male & female", & so on.

These binaries have such a strong impact on our minds that anything that is different becomes a challenge to accept.

LGBTQ - companies focus on hiring, grooming people & making them feel comfortable, they are not marginalized.

When the diversity is respected & heard, move forward together as a collective. That's where we become Inclusive.

Gender is a very marginalized subject and a very important space for addressing the new upcoming trend, "Giving a second chance".

People take a little break after childbearing - being a little mindful about the words we use and the plays we give them, engendering of micro & macro economic policies, have to be some kind of affirmative action for gender to make place for themselves.

Equity is transformational in a way of moving forward. Imagine breaking the bias and everyone getting a fair chance to grow in a professional & personal environment.

Diversity, Inclusivity, & Equity together bring a sense of #Belonging.

Belonging is a long haul & Differences are OK.

In a workplace, the difference to be seen is your strength. Bringing another point of view, How we can gel through it, navigate this minefield & reach our targets & achieve results, & respect each other's differences.
"We belong to a particular culture, we are common in our culture, still, there is some sort of diversity we try to bring out. This aspect also leads to a lot of innovation."
