By signing on to this commitment, YNHHS pledges to take action to cultivate a workplace where diverse perspectives and experiences are welcomed and respected and where employees feel encouraged to discuss diversity and inclusion.
To date, the more than 600 signatories have already shared more than 600 best known actions, exchanging tangible learning opportunities and creating collaborative conversations via the initiative’s electronic hub, CEOAction.com.
“Diversity and inclusion can be difficult issues to navigate, but if we avoid constructive conversation about our differences, communication deteriorates and productivity suffers,” said Lisette Martinez, chief diversity officer. “I am proud that Yale New Haven Health is committing to promoting a work environment where employees can openly address challenges, present opportunities, and share perspectives.”
CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ is cultivating a new type of network centered around collaboration and sharing.
