Differences in Opinion on Inclusion, Equity, and Diversity Programs

There are many mixed reactions to the increasing number of inclusion, equity, and diversity programs being implemented by employers across the country. Littler’s recent Inclusion, Equity and Diversity C-Suite Survey Report shows a commitment to diversity, equity, and diversity programs by many c-suite executives. The report, which includes insights from more than 320 c-suite executives, also finds that there tends to be differences in opinion between Chief Legal Officers and Chief Diversity Officers in regards to these programs.

This report may leave you wondering if your organization is headed in the best direction with your inclusion, equity, and diversity programs, policies, or goals. A good place to start examining your practices would be to check out the Commitment to Diversity sections of the state templates located in PolicySmart^TM. The policies found in this section can help guide you in assessing the handbook policies you have in place for each state in which your organization operates.

For additional resources on discrimination, retaliation, and harassment, be sure to check out the state guides in PolicySmart or the Comprehensive Guidance in the Reference Center.
