The Current State of DEI


What is the state of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in 2024? It’s complicated.

There continues to be intense attention paid to DEI, with detractors calling for its elimination and proponents pushing for increased investment.

Here’s what we’re seeing:

  • DEI has been in the headlines as it has become more politicized, in the workplace, on college campuses, and in our society at large.

  • A small handful of politically conservative activists are leading a noisy crusade against DEI, but DEI is not about politics, and this small group does not represent the majority. It is about ensuring everyone has an equal opportunity to thrive and succeed.  Organizations that treat it as a strategic priority reap significant results from investment in DEI work.

  • A recent study shows employee demand for DEI programs is at an all-time high. And investing in DEI drives loyalty because it demonstrates you value your people.
