DEI&B commitments, where are they now?

SheSaysBoston

The racial reckoning in the workplace brought about lots of conversation & movement, but the real question is: how much has changed?

In 2020, companies and brands all over the country made statements, pledges and promises around Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Unsurprisingly, the fastest growing C-suite title last year was “Chief Diversity Officer.” The racial reckoning in the workplace brought about lots of conversation and initial movement, but the real question is: how much has changed? Have companies put a bandaid on systemic problems? Is meaningful change taking place? Or are we somewhere in between? Companies used buzzwords without defining goals. And for many, there’s no official system that holds them accountable to what was promised. Join us for a conversation via zoom as our panel has a conversation around the state of the state as we discuss if corporate culture has caught up with their own 2020 PR departments.
