Unsubscribe: What Happens When We Retreat from DEI
Following our recent session on Navigating DEI Pushback, we wanted to share a compelling new report from Catalyst:
➡️ Risks of retreat: The enduring inclusion imperative
This report lays out the tangible risks organizations face when they scale back their DEI commitments—from losing top talent to stalling innovation and breaking trust. It also outlines what forward momentum can look like, even in the face of resistance.
For those who are doing the work of building more inclusive organizations, this is powerful evidence to bring into decision-making and leadership conversations.
If you are trying to work through how to respond to the current inclusion environment, please reach out. This is what we do, and we can support you in keeping your strategy and initiatives resilient, effective, and future-focused.
This week’s Unsubscribe video is a quick synopsis of the report, looking at what’s really at stake when organizations pull back on equity and inclusion work—and why now is the time to lead with greater clarity and courage.
