Fair performance evaluation practices
Suggest regular reviews of how performance is evaluated — with attention to fairness across roles, schedules, and work locations. This supports more balanced feedback and advancement decisions.
Visibility into internal opportunities
Encourage the organization to share internal job openings or project roles openly with all staff, rather than relying on informal recommendations.
Structured mentoring or sponsorship programs
Recommend establishing a mentoring or sponsorship initiative, particularly for underrepresented groups. Formal structures help ensure diverse talent is seen, supported, and developed.
Transparent promotion criteria
Suggest publishing clear, standardized criteria for promotions and advancement. This helps reduce bias, builds trust, and ensures everyone knows what is expected (not just those with informal networks).
