Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace is a top priority for job seekers in the current talent-driven market, joining hybrid and remote work. According to a Deloitte survey, 80% of respondents valued inclusion when choosing an employer and 30% of millennials reported having already left an organization to work for a more inclusive one.
Even in our own organization, we’ve seen that having a DEI program and employee resource groups (ERGs) has been a key differentiating factor for new hires choosing our company. What does inclusion look like for your client’s employees? My best advice for company leaders and their advisers: Always ask, never assume.
