With the right education, business leaders can learn how to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion and build organizations capable of attracting and retaining top talent-and thriving financially. However, a commitment to DEI programs can help build more innovative and just organizations. The process of promoting DEI in the workplace is complex and not without challenges.
These findings highlight the relationship between diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and business performance. Similarly, organizations with cultural and ethnic diversity in their leadership are 36 percent more likely to outperform organizations lacking such representation. Organizations with gender diversity in their leadership are 48 percent more likely to outperform organizations with a low representation of women on their executive teams, according to a recent report from McKinsey & Co.
