Embracing DEI as Part of Your Recruitment/Retention Strategy
More employers have come to embrace diversity, equity and inclusion
(DEI) initiatives as a way to improve workplace culture and demonstrate
they value their employees as people, not just workers. Harvard Business
Review found that 65% of U.S. executives say DEI is a high strategic priority,
and organizations on the leading edge report multiple organizational
benefits related to their DEI work, including increased employee
engagement, innovation and success in recruiting and retaining employees.3
Additional studies suggest that taking the right actions to improve DEI can
also lead to better financial outcomes for the organization.
