For lasting and meaningful change to take place, organisations must create environments where ED&I goes beyond scorecardsData on equity, diversity and inclusion should be authentically embraced, valued and placed at the core of organisations. Picture: 123RFThe impact of a racially and economically segregated society under apartheid is still significant.
By approaching ED&I from an employee-centric perspective, we can ensure a positive shift from reflecting diversity in numbers to an authentic culture of inclusivity. We recently commissioned a survey of more than 100 South African professionals and business leaders that have influence over ED&I in their organisations, across a broad range of industries, to better understand the state of progress across all sectors in SA.
The report highlights that diversity at all levels of the organisation is critical to ensure that employees feel their place of work includes people from every walk of life.
