Despite widespread recognition of its importance, numerous organizations still grapple with effectively implementing genuine diversity and inclusion (McKinsey, 2020). This discrepancy between aspiration and reality poses a pivotal challenge: How can organizations innovatively address contemporary challenges to enhance representation? Our sessions aim to dissect both the challenges and potential solutions for cultivating more representative environments at various stages of the organizational pipeline. Specifically, we will demonstrate diverse methods by which organizations can boost representation, ranging from harnessing feedback mechanisms to modifying organizational communication, identifying gaps in the pipeline stages, and understanding mentorship dynamics among individuals from working-class backgrounds. Additionally, our symposium features a diverse group of researchers, offering insights into how representation can permeate through the research process itself.
