The social and political events of the past few years brought the importance of diversity and inclusion into the forefront, and corporations responded with pledges to enhance or introduce programs and policies committed to furthering those goals in the workplace.
They largely made good on their promise, increasing investment in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEI&B), with education and training, mental and emotional health support, and mentoring, among other programs. But, three years in, employees say the efforts are largely missing the mark, and many are questioning their company’s commitment to DEI&B values.
