How companies can make DEI more than just a buzzword and actually alter their company cultures for the better, according to executives

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.As Insider's research on The Human Impact of Business Transformation found, empowerment and inclusivity are key drivers of a positive corporate culture.

Increasingly, this includes hiring chief diversity and inclusion officers. As champions of equality on behalf of their brands, these people play a critical role in leveling the playing field for professionals and reshaping the modern workforce. "It could happen naturally," Parmelee said of the shift toward a more inclusive workforce, "but it's either not going to happen ... in our lifetime or within a reasonable timeframe. You need to have commitment and deliberate action to make it happen."

Judith Williams, a senior vice president and the global head of people sustainability and chief diversity and inclusion officer at SAP, echoes the importance of ensuring you aren't just paying lip service to DEI. For many organizations, diversity and inclusion measures were incited by compliance on an ad-hoc basis. Increasingly, though, companies are actively defining their DEI strategies and shifting to a more decisive approach.

"People don't talk about diversity if it doesn't directly affect them because they don't want to say the wrong thing," Melville said. "I had to get people to understand — not to criticize, but to teach and then decalcify the conversation."
