The Diversity and Inclusion Industry Has Lost its Way
As news comes of the Royal family's desire to hire a Diversity and Inclusion consultant, Kim Tran explores how the industry is at a crossroads and if it could find its roots again.
Hasnain says:
This was a really good read. I didn’t know that the origin for many of the DEI programs today lied in an act from Kennedy’s time.
“DEI efforts should answer not to those in glass-walled corner offices, but those most impacted by the policies it creates. Administrators, rank and file staff members, and service providers should dictate what it means to be represented, how it feels to belong, and what change means. Such a shift would radically alter who qualifies to work in DEI. Instead of people like scientists and business administrators, whose allegiances are to executives, the field would depend on union organizers, coalition builders, and activists. These are not easy—perhaps not even feasible tasks—but DEI is at a crossroads.”
