E3: Are We Asking for Equity or Equality?

Inclusion Unscripted

When you think about Diversity and Inclusion what are we asking for? Is it equity or equality? I wonder if we're asking for the right thing. Are we looking for greater equality, or is it time to size up our equity stake in organizations?

Within every organization, there are two sides of the house the profit center and the cost center. One side involves equity and the other fosters equality, most DEI programs are constructed around the concept of greater equality leaving the equity table to fend for itself.

In this episode with Margaret Spence, founder of The Inclusion Learning Lab and host of The Inclusion Unscripted Podcast, she will reframe the Diversity and Inclusion ask, it's time we start focusing on equity at the beginning of the DEI discussion.

She will answer:

• What is the definition of equitable equality?
• Are we at the right table?
• There is a vast difference between equity and equality when analyzing your career - Let's evaluate both via the lens of inclusion.
• If you arrive at the equality table without equity – what should you ask?
• What does that mean if you're not at the equity table for your career?
• What can we do to reframe equity, so we increase our equality?

I've seen the shift to create greater equality in my lifetime, and I think today, we need to be asking for a big slice of the equity pie. So let's talk about it.
