The infographic represents four key challenges that organizations face in implementing diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
- The first challenge is avoidance and refers to the organizations’ unwillingness to learn about own biases.
- The second challenge is oversimplification and refers to the organizations checking the boxes without an intentional approach to implement initiatives.
- The third challenge is disregard of feedback and refers to the organizations failing to look for trends and root causes in the feedback they receive.
- The fourth challenge is inauthenticity and refers to the organizations hiring people based on race, gender, or ethnic group rather than making authentic commitment to DEI initiatives.
