How to Accelerate DEI with Technology
In summer of 2020 the fastest growing C-suite role wasn’t in Growth, Revenue, or even People. It was the Chief Diversity Officer (CDO) role. The field of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is experiencing explosive growth, with countless enterprises launching efforts to build and retain a diverse workforce. However, while this is unquestionably an exciting and long overdue development, demand has grown at a much faster rate than the CDOs, CHROs and their teams need to start and scale their programs. The fact is, without disciplined project management, metrics to measure their current status and monitor progress, and effective ways to engage and hear the voice of their employees, DEI efforts will mostly feel like shooting in the dark.
As shared in Harvard Business review, U.S. companies spend roughly $8 billion a year on DEI training alone—but accomplish remarkably little and many diversity-education programs have led to little or no increase in the representation of women and minorities in management.
Too many organizations invest resources into DEI without tangible goals to support their workers, which is where DEI is the most impactful for businesses that wish to make a change. DEI Tech empowers HR and DEI leaders with the capabilities to connect and engage their employees, implement their DEI Plan with Objectives and Actions and track their progress with Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
We are excited to have a panel discussion with current users of DEI technology, Mark Minnie, AM General Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer, Stephanie Love, Director, Talent Management at Aspiration, and Kelly Siobhan Laffey, Partner at Stubbs Alderton & Markiles, LLP, joining Sonya Sepahban, CEO and Founder for OurOffice.
