Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is not only the right thing to do for the workforce, it's the right thing to do for the business. An organization that invests in DEI reaps many benefits, including different perspectives and unique viewpoints; an increase in innovation and creativity; and improved engagement and productivity. They're also more likely to attract millennial and Gen Z job seekers and receive more applications from women.

A commitment to DEI is essential to fostering long-term success in today's diverse and interconnected world. The richness of experiences, backgrounds, beliefs and perspectives brings diversity in thought to the table, giving the organization a competitive edge. Indeed, study after study has shown that companies who are committed to DE&I are the most financially successful.
