More than half of companies that have done away with DEI policies or scaled them back say it was political pressure or public scrutiny that led to the decision.
It’s a shame ‘DEI’ has become so political. Generally speaking, these policies strengthen teams and improve outcomes. Even in terms of biology, non-diverse populations are (typically) less likely to survive long term.
My defense for them was that it seems investment banks, who are loathe to lose money, seemed to retain these policies which suggests they make them more money.
100%. Theres a lot of studies on DEI that shows it does save money while making people at work happier, more satisfied and better work outcomes overall. They’re really a win win for all.
