Though 80% of employees say companies must take action to address racial inequities, 47% of those workers either have not seen or do not know if their companies have made any public commitments to act in the past year.

When it comes to the intersection between money and race, there’s the wealth gap between Black and white households — and there’s also the rhetoric gap between talk and action to narrow that financial divide.

Meanwhile, 26% of employees say their companies have followed through on most of their public commitments, the 1,000-person survey said. Around 30% said their CEO has done little, or nothing about race, gender and more inclusion in the workplace. “The events of 2020 have made a permanent mark on how people think about the workplace,” said Sona Khosla, Benevity’s chief impact officer, later adding, “The companies that will lead in the future will be ones who embrace the new dynamics of their relationship with employees, customers and communities.”

The date commemorates when the last enslaved African Americans learned they were free. Union Gen. Gordon Granger, two months after the Civil War’s end, read them the Emancipation Proclamation that President Abraham Lincoln had issued more than two years earlier. That’s certainly the case in corporate boardrooms, according to a recently released survey of Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies. From 2018 to 2020, minority representation on boards grew slightly, according to a recent study from Deloitte and the Alliance for Board Diversity.
