Organizations have (finally) begun committing to and investing in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), catalyzed by the social justice movements of 2020. Whether due to pressure from internal and external stakeholders, competition for top talent, or a moral imperative, businesses are increasingly acknowledging that DEI work needs to be done.
