Guest Post: Harnessing Systems to Champion Equality in Your Business

Howdy friend!

I bet you’re wondering who I am and where the heck Ashlee is this week. (Don’t worry, she is in a safe place! Just taking a lil break today.)

So I’ll introduce myself: 👋 Hi, I’m Devin Lee!

Officially, I’m a Systems Strategist for quickly growing businesses. I specialize in designing bespoke systems for visionary business owners.

Unofficially, I’m the high-energy hype woman who’ll bring a calm oasis to your business.

When I’m not creating exceptional systems, you can find me trying to cut my own bangs, reading up on the latest celeb gossip, traveling constantly, and studying the Enneagram (I’m a type 7!)

Today, I want to dive into the exciting world of systems and how they can bring your brand values to life, so they’re not just collecting dust on a shelf after you’ve done awesome brand value work with someone like Ashlee. Let’s make them actionable!

Let’s explore how systems can support and reinforce some common brand values I’ve seen out in the wild:

🌟 Inclusivity

When hiring, create a system for an Unbiased Application Review, such as a blind application process where you review applicants’ qualifications and skills without seeing their names or photos. This approach helps to mitigate unconscious biases that may influence hiring decisions. By focusing solely on the merits of each candidate, you create a fair playing field for everyone, regardless of their background or appearance.

🌟 Collaboration

Establish a system for collecting feedback from your team members regularly. This can be in the form of anonymous surveys, one-on-one meetings, or even dedicated feedback channels. By actively seeking input, you empower your employees to contribute their thoughts, concerns, and ideas, ultimately fostering an environment of inclusivity and collaboration.

🌟 Reliability

Trust is the foundation of any successful business. Make sure your project management tool has systems built in that ensure nothing falls through the cracks. By consistently delivering on your promises and ensuring reliability throughout your operations, you’ll build a solid reputation and gain the trust of your clients.

🌟 Supportive

Consider what your onboarding process is for your clients and your team. Is there a system to automatically send them a warm welcome and answer any questions they might have? Do they understand the process to communicate with you? Is there a system in place to regularly check in with them to make sure they have everything they need?

 

By infusing your brand values into the very fabric of your organization through robust systems, you’ll create a culture that lives and breathes your values. Not only will this attract like-minded employees and clients, but it will also drive your business growth and set you apart.
