Diversity, Equity & Inclusion | www.opensesame.com | (503) 808-1286 | 2
A 2020 D&I study by the
Brandon Hall Group indicates
that 89% of organizations
believe that diversity, equity and
inclusion are important drivers
of business results, and yet in
most organizations, daily business
practices do not reflect the
importance of DEI.
Organizations that do not
invest leadership, time, energy,
and resources into creating
comprehensive change around
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion are
missing a unique opportunity to
improve organizational culture,
business competitiveness,
employee engagement and
talent retention.
Unlike most organizational initiatives,
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion programs and
processes are fluid, open-ended enterprises
that require evolution and nurturing. Adopting
a meaningful and successful DEI initiative
involves a wholesale culture change within an
organization, and nothing short of a paradigm
shift in addressing attitudes, ways of thinking,
and committing to behavioral change.
The key to achieving success is to take
a strategic approach that touches all
aspects of the organization, cultivating
a new language for how the company
sees itself and performs its mission.
