When it comes to inclusion and diversity in the workplace, the status quo simply isn’t working.
Organizations in the United States spent nearly $7.5 billion on I&D-related efforts in 2020, a figure that is projected to more than double to $15.4 billion by 2026.** And yet, the results simply aren’t there: While almost two-thirds of organizations (65%) say I&D is a high strategic priority, 67% say their organization is, at best, only somewhat successful at creating a workplace that is diverse and inclusive.***
It's time for a bold new approach to diversity, inclusion and belonging in the workplace.
