Employer inclusivity strategies must reach higher standards post-pandemic
Trend - As consumers continue re-prioritizing their lives post-pandemic, they crave a more clear sense of purpose in their work. One way to achieve this in the workplace is by offering a more comprehensive DEI strategy. Diversity, equity, and inclusion have become all the more important to consumers seeking ways to make the world a better place on a daily basis.
Insight - The past couple of years of the pandemic have also ushered in a political reckoning, where consumers are more reflective of their place in a society that is often unjust. This creates a sense of responsibility to try to positively impact society in as many ways as possible. Short of working in the actual social good space, integrating these beliefs into the workplace can be difficult; employers would do well to build DEI strategies that ensure the workplace remains inclusive and equitable, while also helping employees do right in their daily lives.
