For this episode of A Seat at the Table, I’m joined by Ryan Whitacre and Toya Lawson, partners at executive search firm Bridge Partners LLC. Ryan and Toya have joined to share valuable insights from Bridge Partners’ recently commissioned survey of C-Suite leaders and HR decision-makers on DEI.
Listen in as we discuss the firm’s inaugural DEI Barometer survey and some of the key findings, which include:
- 80% of Large Employers See DEI Programs as Positive
- 88% of Large Employers See DEI Programs as Necessary
- 96% of Large Employers Believe DEI is the Most Impactful Social Impact Initiative
- 60% of large company leaders use an increase of racially and ethnically diverse employees as a metric of success for DEI programs.
Ryan also recently penned an article for HRDA, which you can read here.
