Yes, there are strategies that your organization can use to ensure that diversity initiatives do not tokenize or discriminate against any minority groups. The first strategy is to create inclusionary hiring and promotional policies that focus on creating diverse teams regardless of race, gender, or orientation. The second strategy is to ensure fair representation throughout each step of the hiring process through blind screenings and diverse panel interviews. Finally, incorporate measures such as unconscious bias training for managers and staff alike, in order to ensure a truly open culture which takes into account all individuals’ merit without prejudiced filters.

Yes, your organization can ensure diversity initiatives do not discriminate or tokenize any minority groups by adopting an inclusive, rather than a "one-size-fits-all" approach to the initiatives. Incorporating strategies such as understanding and respecting different cultures and backgrounds, avoiding language that may be offensive or inappropriate to certain people, ensuring the diverse communities are appropriately represented in photos/videos and including more voices from different perspectives will all help to create an atmosphere where everyone feels they are being heard and respected.
