Why Does DEI Matter?

Gone are the days when words like diversity, equity, and inclusion were just popular management lingo. Today, a real commitment to DEI is no longer optional for socially conscious businesses. DEI is key to performance and reputation. Organizations that protect and act on a real commitment to DEI have a clear market advantage over their competitors. They attract the very best talent and innovate from a foundation of embodied intercultural competency.
