Diversity & Inclusion Best Practices

Creating sustainable change with a long-term strategy.

MindSpring’s Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Programs utilize a three-phase approach: Discovery, Development, and Action and consists of a suite of interactive services.

As is best practice when creating cultural change, there must be a shared acceptance of a new set of priorities that support the creation of new habits. From there, a change in processes and systems will ensure the changes are sustainable. At the beginning, things may appear abstract, and random. Then, with time and dedication, the concepts swell with movement and yield results. At MindSpring, this transformation occurs in phases outlined below:
