Survey Shows Low Investment in DEI Resources Among Employers

(From SHRM) A recent national survey conducted by SHRM and the Boston College School of Social Work found that the majority (63%) of organizations allocate “little to no resources” to DEI, despite just as many (65%) saying that diversity, equity and inclusion matters. The survey of 1,062 U.S. organizations showed that:

• 20% of HR professionals say their organization's overall policies and practices are not at all fair or only somewhat fair.
• 25% of organizations say their older workers have experienced bias within the past two years.
• 27% of organizations say their employees have experienced racial bias in the past two years.
• 28% of organizations say their employees have experienced gender bias within the past two years.
