DEI improves retention and performance

Workers want to work for organizations dedicated to diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplaces. According to a 2022 GoodHire survey of U.S. workers, 81 percent of respondents would consider leaving their jobs due to a lack of DEI commitment by their employer.

A 2021 Gartner study found that in more diverse and inclusive workplaces, individual effort improves by 12 percent, while team collaboration and commitment improve by about 50 percent. Another study by Deloitte found that millennials are 83 percent more engaged when working in an inclusive culture. Inclusive teams also make better business decisions 87 percent of the time — twice as fast and with half the meetings.
