IIDA Perspective - Spring/Summer 2016 - 18
Conclusion
Turning a conversation about diversity into a movement
Workplace diversity is a complex issue. Reaping its myriad (and well-researched)
benefits requires curating a staff that's varied on both levels: inherent and
acquired. A perfectly calibrated mix of ethnicities, genders, worldviews, and
work styles can be hard to achieve-and hard to manage, requiring inclusive
measures, a "color brave" attitude, and sustained attentiveness. But the results
are worth it: more (and more inspiring) ideas, more creative work, financial gains,
and upholding social justice.
Collectively, the design industry is not yet as diverse as it could or should be,
but intentionality and collaboration will get us there. It will involve working
together to share best practices, to create a common message, and to show
a unified front. We can be a leader in thought and in practice, creating an
exportable model for other industries-just like we were for sustainability.
Interior designers and manufacturer representatives have to do the hard work,
because it matters-to the profession and to the world. "With focus and
milestones, we will be the most inclusive and influential body of creative folks,"
said Stallworth. "We will move things forward because we are the idea folks.
We motivate, strengthen, enforce, initiate, and influence." We have to use that
influence to design a better world.
Interior designers and manufacturer
representatives have to do the hard work,
because it matters-to the profession
and to the world.
