Recent protests over police brutality and the death of George Floyd and countless other such incidents have reignited discussions about race and inequality in the US and around the world. Many companies are pledging to do their part in the fight against racism by increasing diversity and inclusion in their workforce and reducing implicit bias.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, companies have a lot of work to do, as current levels of diversity and inclusion, especially at the executive level, are abysmal for most firms. According to <\/span>McKinsey and Company<\/span><\/a>, even though Caucasians only make up 64% of entry-level workers, they make up 85% of employees in executive positions, while Hispanic and Black employees only account for 3% and 2% of executives respectively. For every 100 men who receive their first promotion from entry-level to manager, 79 women receive that same promotion and only 60 Black women receive that same promotion.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a must for all members of your organization to be fully educated on implicit bias, diversity, and inclusion. This article will do exactly that as well as highlight the benefits of diversity and inclusion and the problem areas businesses are facing in creating a diverse and inclusive workplace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
