Over the past few years, organizations and employees
alike have turned their attention toward addressing the
social inequities in the workplace made starkly visible by
the pandemic. While much progress has been made in
this space, this increased attention has also led to
increased recognition that diversity, equity, and inclusion
(DEI) programs can stall, fail, or even backfire if not
implemented thoughtfully.
In an effort to reframe fundamental perspectives of DEI,
Work Equity, an initiative of the Center for Social Innovation at the Boston College School of Social Work, partnered with SHRM, the largest global membership
organization of HR practitioners, to conduct the National
Study of Workplace Equity. One of the first of its kind, the
study aimed to understand the state of equity in U.S.
workplaces using a nationally representative sample of
1,062 workplaces in the United States.
