Question of the Month Results
 
In the last issue of NMCI News, we asked you to respond to the following question:
 
"What is the most challenging trend you are facing as a diversity practitioner?"
 
Below is a summary of your responses:
  • Employers see training as key to improving diversity awareness, but are cutting training budgets.
  • Pressure to shift from focusing on topics closely tied to power and privilege to a broader approach (e.g. "diversity is broadly defined, including personality traits," etc.).
  • Unrealistic expectations for training impact.
  • Lack of opportunities/support for ongoing learning activities.

Thanks to all of you who responded!  We will be using your responses to develop future articles, tools and institute workshops.  Please take a moment to respond to this month's survey!
