No Bullshit with Alex Willis: The Go-To Source for Leaders in Construction2 Touko 2023

Episode 3: How Everyone Benefits from DEI, The The Level (2/4)

We’re sure you’ve heard the words “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” But when you really think about it, do you know exactly what each of them means, especially as it relates to working in the construction industry?

In this week’s episode, Alex is going to outline the building blocks of DEI and he’ll unpack how critical it truly is to our everyday lives. Drawing from his own experiences and in-person trainings, Alex will cover how big the problem of racism actually is, and what you can do to have a positive impact on every member of your team.

You might not agree with everything you hear from the episode, and that’s okay. Just remember, at the end of the day, as Alex says, what’s most important is trust and respect.

What to look out for in today’s episode:

The definitions of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
How racism takes shape in the workplace
The 5 Rules in creating a belonging environment
What you can do to help

In our second segment, The Level, Alex is going to outline how you can create a belonging environment for yourself, and all the individuals you work with. No one wants to be left out, and it’s often easy for underrepresented groups to feel excluded unless organizations make an active effort to bring them into the fold.

Tune into our next segment, The Foundation, to figure out how to talk about race. And while you might think there are lots of different races of humans out there, you’ll hear the truth from Alex about how alike we all really are. Another key topic that will be covered is unconscious bias, keep an ear out for that one.
