Five signs a company is genuinely committed to diversity and inclusion
How do you know if companies truly value and prioritize DEI?
Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) has been a hot topic among business leaders for years, with recent legislation such as gender pay gap publishing and women on boards helping to steer companies in the right direction.
The positive impact of diversity and inclusion on everything from employee morale to innovation is pushing employers to become more transparent about their stance as well as their hiring practices, to ensure a better workplace and society.
According to a 2021 Glassdoor survey, “67% of job seekers consider workplace diversity an important factor when considering employment opportunities, and more than 50% of current employees want their workplace to do more to increase diversity.”
It doesn’t stop at hiring and recruitment. Investing in DEI initiatives can also help businesses to grow and innovate, attract new customers and clients, and enhance the employer’s brand and reputation.
