If DirectEmployers 2023 Annual Meeting & Conference (DEAMcon23) is any indicator, employers are making great strides in creating work environments that are diverse and equitable, but also supporting a culture of inclusion and belonging – which is crucial to success and employee retention efforts. Each year, DiversityInc surveys participating companies and each completed submission receives a free report card, assessing its performance versus the competitor’s overall performance in six key aspects of workplace fairness:
- Human Capital Metrics: Four levels of management, total management, total workforce, promotions, retention, and new hires
- Leadership Accountability: Looks at Board of Directors, CEO and Senior Leadership
- Talent Programs: Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), mentoring, high potential and sponsorship programs
- Workforce Practices: Talent acquisition, talent management, onboarding, benefits and supplier diversity
- Supplier Diversity: Spend with companies owned by people from underrepresented groups
- Philanthropy: Contributions to non-profit organizations focused on people from underrepresented groups and employee volunteerism
