How does your business communicate its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts? Maybe you've got a few lines about DEI on an old about page, or perhaps you posted an International Women's Day solidarity post on social media? A good start! But to show the real impact of your DEI work, you need to create a diversity, equity and inclusion statement.
When well-written, a DEI statement sends a powerful message about what a company stands for and its priorities. But despite its importance, some companies don't advertise their diversity commitments - leaving stakeholders, customers, and employees at a disadvantage and potentially impacting recruitment efforts and the bottom line.
