Abstract
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) encompasses any organizational practice that promotes an open and supportive workplace for all employees. However, the implications of good DE&I strategy extend further than improved employee performance and engagement. Companies with good DE&I have been shown to have more innovation, are more agile, have higher employee performance, and more frequently hit financial targets. Therefore, firms can “leverage those qualities in support of business objectives” to consistently outperform and gain a strategic and financial advantage over less diverse competitors (Exhibit 1).
