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. 89% Source: Brandon Hall Group, D&I Benchmarking Study
