In 2020, two crises emerged into national and global prominence—the COVID-19 pandemic and the civil unrest following the George Floyd murder. Both exposed many of the inequities in our society, and corporate leaders found themselves under significant pressure to publicly commit to tackling systemic bias, particularly within the workplace. From adding chief diversity officers and creating affinity groups to increasing community outreach and developing diversity performance metrics, many companies have started strong in their entities’ DEI journey. However, many are now discovering that these actions are just that, a strong start. To date, the gains of these corporate efforts have been mixed. This is because advancing DEI within an organization also requires learning to value the experiences of colleagues with different backgrounds and viewpoints, making room for their colleagues to bring the fullness of their lived experiences into the workplace, and offering the right resources for them to thrive. Specifically, companies are coming to realize that championing equity and embracing inclusion is the hard work of DEI.

According to a recent Kantar report, a lack of diversity, equity and inclusion could be costing businesses $5.4 trillion. A commitment to equity, inclusion and belonging in the workplace enables organizations to foster inclusivity and attract, motivate and recognize exceptional individuals. This environment cultivates innovation and creates a culture where every person feels there is an equal opportunity to fit in and build a career. Through evidence-based research and contemporary practices from companies making DEI strides, participants will gain actionable strategies for successfully advancing DEI within their organizations.
