The current state of the world’s workforce calls for greater efforts from business in the DEI space but while there’s a lot of talk, a new report from Culture Amp suggests that businesses aren’t quite hitting the mark.
The 2022 Workplace Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Report revealed that while 95% of businesses have an anti-harassment policy, only 42% had a process for enforcing it, meaning the gap between intentions and results is alarmingly wide.
Culture Amp global head of equitable design and impact Aubrey Blanche said, “the results clearly demonstrate the need for companies to start ‘walking the walk’, and that the most common issue is a lack of investment and resources.”
“So, companies that aren’t walking the walk – which, honestly, is most of them – are ultimately going to suffer from a talent perspective. The ethical and human dignity argument has never changed, but I think there is now more economic, employee and other stakeholder pressure for companies to do this. But while companies are recognising that this is a valuable focus, they’re still not being allocated the resources they need to actually create structural change.”
“We put this research together to help organisations that might be well intentioned but just aren’t investing correctly. We want to help them deploy those resources to maximise the quality of the employee experience.”
