Create a Google Alert for DEI News in Your Industry

It’s one thing to keep up on the latest DEI news but it’s another thing altogether to keep up on DEI news in your industry or profession. As we embrace new dialogues about cultural identity and difference in the workplace, it’s especially helpful for us to each understand what they mean in the context of the work we do day in and day out. Whether the headlines are controversial or celebratory, revelatory or commonplace, they help give us a sense of what we need to be aware of to stay current and, ideally, ahead of the cultural curve.

This week, create a Google Alert to have the latest news delivered right to your inbox. I personally have one set up for ‘design and diversity equity & inclusion’ that gives me insights into what’s happening within design firms, professional associations, and the industry at large. It also keeps me in the loop on which organizations are making noteworthy efforts when it comes to DEI and what practices are becoming more common. You may come across some news that could help inform your approaches to your work.
