Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are essential practices for creating a thriving and efficient workplace. Entire communities benefit from ethical company policies, ensuring job positions are filled based on skills and experience. According to the California Government Operations Agency (CalGovOPS), “Addressing unequal circumstances helps drive equal outcomes so all Californians have the chance to reach their full potential and lead healthy and rewarding lives, and all California communities can thrive and prosper.” LifeSpring Home Nutrition celebrates diversity and embraces inclusivity through DEI processes.
DEI promotes fairness and equality within the workplace by prioritizing diversity, equity, and inclusion. Employees are hired and promoted based on skills and experience, avoiding implicit or explicit favoritism, bias, racism, sexism, or other types of discrimination. DEI is practiced through open communication, ethical decision-making, and transparency.
DEI helps combat biases and stigmas by making companies and hiring departments more self-aware during interactions with employees and clients. This fosters empathy and encourages people to think about the impact of their words and actions.
The most important principles of DEI include:
Every company has a different way of implementing DEI in policies, procedures, and day-to-day business practices. Companies use the principles of DEI to create a more inclusive community and provide a positive experience for clients and employees. LifeSpring Home Nutrition understands the importance of DEI. DEI provides a framework the meal preparation and delivery teams use to support and uplift underrepresented individuals within Californian communities. The hiring process ensures the best people are on board to help plan, create, and deliver high-quality meals.
LifeSpring Home Nutrition practices DEI to ensure all open positions are filled by the best people to serve the local community. Working with individuals best suited for each role improves service quality and ensures people benefit more from their weekly meal deliveries.
Some of the processes used to facilitate DEI include:
LifeSpring Home Nutrition serves people from all backgrounds and ethnicities. To ensure each client has the best possible experience, the company hires individuals with the proper training and additional valuable skills. California has a diverse elderly population. Multilingual team members allow LifeSpring Home Nutrition to serve clients better.
According to Cathleen Anthony, M.B.A., owner of LifeSpring Home Nutrition, “We have many bilingual staff, and one of the RD’s waiting for hire is trilingual in English, Spanish, and Arabic. One is an expert in healthy Asian cuisine and fluent in Cantonese, and they all have done meal planning. 75% of our staff is bilingual in Spanish [and] English.” These individuals’ skills make them ideal for serving clients from all cultures and backgrounds.
Part of DEI involves hiring the best people for any given job position based on the company’s needs. According to the Department of Labor (DOL), “By fostering a culture of diversity — or a capacity to appreciate and value individual differences — employers benefit from varied perspectives on how to confront business challenges and achieve success.” Using DEI encourages people to share their unique perspectives and experiences.
People who choose to receive meal deliveries from LifeSpring Home Nutrition benefit from the inclusive work environment supported by DEI practices. The family-like team works together and prioritizes client satisfaction. DEI practices ensure everyone receives the nutritional support they need to live healthy lives. A diverse workplace ensures every member of the team listens and responds appropriately to the concerns and needs of each individual they interact with on a weekly basis.
People are more likely to provide higher quality service when they feel valued and heard in their jobs. LifeSpring Home Nutrition treats every client and employee with respect and compassion by taking steps to address any potential issues. According to the article “The Importance Of Diversity And Inclusion For Today’s Companies” in Forbes, “When you bring people together from all walks of life—different genders, backgrounds, and races—it’s amazing what we can accomplish . . . it’s clear that embracing diversity is not only the right thing to do, but it’s also good for business.”
LifeSpring Home Nutrition has always been innovative due to the DEI approach the owner has practiced since day one. DEI aims to create better communities, healthier workplaces, and a better client experience. Constant innovation in processes, procedures, and services ensures the team never fails to meet client needs.
DEI fosters creativity by giving a more diverse voice to the conversation of change and growth. Every aspect of the home delivery service benefits from additional points of view and insights into meeting client needs. LifeSpring Home Nutrition has been innovating and filling the gaps in-home delivery services for over twenty years. Every day is an opportunity to learn, grow, and share positive experiences with others. By prioritizing DEI, companies ensure clients receive the best possible service quality.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) form a foundation for healthier communities by ensuring everyone has access to the same opportunities. LifeSpring Home Nutrition practices DEI in all aspects of job placement and community engagement. To learn more about our programs and services, call our office today at (800) 798-5767.
