Just One Q podcast cover with guest Apryl Gordy
EPISODE 77

Building Inclusivity up from Belonging

Can you articulate the ‘why’ ‘what’ and ‘how’ of your workplace DEI initiatives?

In 2020, hastily conceived DEI programs with check-box expectations are either being rolled back or reinvented. Deep questioning and critical analysis of our DEI initiatives, policies, and practices can help us identify areas for improvement, bring others onboard, and design lasting strategies with deeper intention.

On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with Apryl Gordy, an inclusivity and accessibility champion and Senior Impact Manager at SPCSHP. They discuss how asking “why”, “what”, and “how” can help build belonging in the workplace. Apryl emphasizes how a commitment to critical analysis has led to the prioritization of belonging in her impact work. She also reflects on bringing along even the most resistant or skeptical employees in times of transformation.
