The current economic crisis is leaving business leaders in a position to focus on cost containment through digitalisation. However, this may mean a large portion of businesses will not prioritise DEI as much as they should.
There will already be an increasing amount of pressure on budgets, meaning the investment in DEI initiatives and strategies, or allocating resource towards DEI efforts will not be a high priority. It’s important that leaders recognise this change, and consider how DEI can be embedded throughout the strategies rather than treated as an “add-on” at the end.
In this DEI whitepaper, we explore a variety of topics which will help businesses to understand the ever growing importance of focusing on DEI, and the steps to take to either begin or progress its journey.
✅ Diversity, Equity and Inclusion overview
✅ Impact of inflation
✅ Embedding DEI business-wide
✅ Unconscious biases
✅ Inclusive leadership
✅ DEI as a business strategy
“DEI leaders should ensure their strategies can deliver long-term results. They must first design strategies with employees in mind, making goals more relevant and easier for employees to own. Second, they must hone their metrics for DEI success into a more comprehensive measure of progress on DEI strategy over time. Finally, organizations should focus on embedding DEI into existing talent and business processes to ensure they consistently apply DEI values.”
