Episode 21: Social Media, Diversity & Inclusion and the Impact on Society
from Engaging People, Powering Companies - The Leadership Podcast · host The Engagement Coach
Almost every large organisation will have a Diversity and Inclusion agenda, to help improve diverse thoughts and creativity, but what good is all this work, when outside of work, in our social lives, we are exposed to division? Social media has allowed us to entrench our views by finding like-minded people, instead of seeking to expand our views through discussion and dialogue. The Social Dilemma on Netflix shows the negative impacts social media is having on tolerance and our willingness to learn and listen to others. Are organisational activities created to improve diversity and inclusion really having an impact, or are we ticking boxes?

What this episode covers
Social media whilst created to bring us together, has had an almost opposing effect, by reinforcing views and dividing society, taking us away from the need to compromise and work together. The fantastic documentary on Netflix called The Social Dilemma, caused a discussion between Amrit and his daughter, exploring the impact of social media. What good does having an organisational Diversity and Inclusion agenda have, when outside of work, we are exposed to division? This is what this week's podcast explores, and raises the question of whether organisations could be a force for good, to help educate wider society on the positive impacts of diversity and inclusion.
