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 final segment, The Frame Out, you’ll find out what four tools you can practice with to combat unconscious bias and exclusion. Alex wants you to think about these tools as if they were weights you’d lift at the gym. In order to get better in your daily life, you have to workout with them daily. Time to get up for the challenge!
