Using Data to Walk the Talk and Build Inclusive Teams
Saying you want to "increase diversity and inclusion" comes from a place of good intentions, but words alone aren't enough. Business leaders must go beyond good intentions to a strategic mindset anchored in data. When you take a data-driven approach, you can identify the gaps, target specific issues that need to be addressed and make an informed path forward. The data will always have your back.
