1. One year on from George Floyd’s death, what have we learned?
Diversity, equity and inclusion efforts have come a long way in one year.
Or have they?
Expect observances, statements and events aplenty this week, as we mark one year since the death of the man who “has become a symbol in the fight for racial equality and police reform,” according to CNN.
The occasion presents an opportunity for self-reflection—and for companywide transparency. Amid the flurry of statements, solidarity and pledges of last year, how far has your company progressed on DE&I issues? Have you maintained momentum? Or have your programs stalled?
One key is to look beyond mere representation or box-ticking “diversity” toward more substantive inclusion measures.
