DEI Report Highlights: Are Programs Working?
In our latest DEI report, we set out to understand whether DEI programs are truly working and how both employees and employers rate the quality of these initiatives across the full recruitment life cycle—from initial hiring through long-term employment.
Key Findings
- Communication during hiring: Four in five (80%) employers say they provide communication about their DEI efforts during the hiring process.
- Onboarding and training: Three-quarters (75%) of employers report that they require DEI training as part of onboarding, yet only 63% of employees say their company requires it, revealing a notable perception gap.
- Perception of training quality: Nearly half (48%) of employees who completed required diversity training felt the training was more of a checkbox exercise than a meaningful part of their company’s diversity goals.
These benchmarks highlight current successes, challenges, and opportunities for DEI programs and are designed to help organizations assess their efforts, close perception gaps between employers and employees, and ignite measurable progress in DEI across the entire recruitment and employment journey.
