Time and time again when I engage on diversity, equity, and inclusion matters with employees, managers, and leaders of companies across the world, I’m met with the question:Despite many companies’ recent efforts to develop DEI strategies and roadmaps, inequalities in our workplaces are still rampant. The lateststates that it will take us 132 years to achieve gender parity, with that number being much higher for some intersectional identities than others.
Over many years of working with employees, managers, and leaders in the DEI space, I’ve found that, when it comes to DEI, there is plenty of fear. Those who are well-represented in any context are fearful of the change and loss of power that real inclusion will bring, fearful of getting uncomfortable, and fearful of saying and doing the wrong thing. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve heard white male CEOs say that they want to support DEI efforts but are afraid of being cancelled.
