Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Practices and Impacts - Ademolu Adediran - Bog

Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Leadership and Human Resource Management - Miscellaneous, University of Ibadan, language: English, abstract: The fast pace of the growth of globalization, the global crisis, and social movements of recent years which have been connected to racial injustice, as well as increasing expectations of ethical practices by businesses from prospective employees, customers, and the society at large, have all made the issue of diversity, equity, and inclusion a top business priority for organizations. DEI initiatives are going beyond the 'nice to have' policies and statements as it were due to increasing pressures on organizations to practice what they preach, and upon the realization that it may be linked to financial outperformance. The paper examines various practicable guides that organizations across the world can adopt in striving to advance DEI initiatives through a review of secondary data sourced from published best practices, blog articles, and research articles.
