After reading Edelman's Business and Racial Justice Special Report, it's clear that employers have a huge opportunity to make positive change, build trust, and gain loyalty in the U.S. by investing in diversity, equity, and inclusion. Respondents agreed that a well-structured diversity program and inclusive work culture can attract and retain talent regardless of age, gender, income, or community. If there is a sense of belonging, it transcends political lines, leading to more employee advocacy. So, what are the report takeaways? ➡ Employers are the most trusted institution to create lasting change ➡ DEI programs benefit all employees when everyone has a voice ➡ Customers buy from brands that respond to racial injustice ➡ Employee loyalty is dependent on whether DEI commitments are fulfilled #CustomerRelations #Management #DEI

An inclusive work culture with a well-supported diversity program is critical. In the United States, employees feel more connected and committed to organizations that prioritize DEI initiatives compared to those with fewer efforts. Moreover, workplace DEI initiatives are widely regarded as one of the most effective ways to combat racism.
