Diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEI+J) are now more crucial than ever for US businesses. While companies have been pouring resources into initiatives like workforce development and recruitment, many are falling short when it comes to making real, lasting change.
But now, with political pushback and the threat of legal action, the progress that has been made is in jeopardy as businesses consider scaling back or halting their DEI+J efforts.
To get a glimpse into how businesses are navigating DEI+J in this charged climate, we conducted a survey of corporate leaders from a variety of Fortune 500 companies. We dove into topics like social equity, mentorship, integration of DEI+J into policies and values, responsible sourcing, political lobbying, community-focused justice issues, and more.
Our research uncovered that companies have a huge opportunity to make a significant impact and add value to their business by using DEI+J as more than just a box-ticking exercise.
