Diversity and Inclusion in the Board Room

Diversity and inclusion are becoming more and more prevalent in boardrooms executive suites, and C-suites across the globe. They have been transformed from mere slogans or pledges to actual.

While these discussions might be focused on the company but it’s important that the decisions made in these rooms impact everyone involved from the employees of the company, through the shareholders who own its shares, and even the economy. These meetings are extremely structured and adhere to the guidelines and rules (such as Robert’s Rules of Order).

Boardrooms are designed to accommodate smaller groups of people. They typically seat 8 to 20 people around an expansive table that facilitates face-toface conversation and promotes unity. Furniture of the highest quality, as well with technology like video teleconferencing feature and modern audiovisual systems, can create imp source the environment that is essential for effective collaboration.

Discussion boards are a great way to get students involved and help them comprehend the connection between classroom learning and other perspectives. Instructors may begin by asking icebreakers to get students familiar with the opinions of their classmates. For instance, Speer at Wichita State asks her students to introduce themselves by creating an emoji chain that explain their character and the things they enjoy. Students are asked to read the responses of their classmates and then respond. Students are encouraged to keep track of the entire discussion when you summarize your discussion and highlight key ideas and themes.
