Many organizations recognize that diversity, equity, and inclusion should be business priorities, but translating this recognition into executive support and budget allocation remains a significant challenge. While 76% of employees say diversity is important when evaluating job opportunities, according to Glassdoor research, only 34% of companies have executive leaders who are actively champions of DE&I initiatives.

Your business is no longer solely defined by the products or services you sell. In today's climate, organizations have an obligation to uphold ethical standards and demonstrate social responsibility. Consumers are increasingly selective about where they spend their money, and employees are equally discerning about where they work.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is not just a moral issue, it’s also a practical one. All data says the same thing: diverse and inclusive companies are more profitable, perform better, and have an easier time attracting recruits.

International Equal Pay Day occurs on September 18th each year, with the goal of highlighting pay discrepancies between men and women. Around the world, women generally earn around 20% less than men. Gender pay gaps can also occur within organizations, even when your organization has a commitment to equality.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) is becoming something companies can’t ignore any longer. Candidates can now check an employer's DEI ranking on Glassdoor before they apply for a vacancy, which means DEI is not just internal—it’s part of your public employer brand.
