Navigating Challenges: Chief Diversity Officers & HR Leaders in DEI Roles

About the Webinar

Workplace DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) initiatives remain a strong priority across sectors, as the benefits of increased diversity are clear. But for those working in DEI roles at their organizations, navigating the current context is complicated by the pressures of today’s politicized environment. 

Our research with senior leaders of the DEI function at 50 U.S.-based companies in the Fortune 1000 uncovered that many Chief Diversity Officers (CDOs) and their HR colleagues are not getting the clarity and support needed to ensure enterprise investments in DEI are meaningful and successful. Executives in DEI roles tell us they’re navigating budget cuts, unrealistic expectations, being asked to do more with less, and facing a lack of buy-in — sometimes even from the C-suite. Many report they are personally burning out and need more from their organizations to sustain lasting culture change.

Join us for a webinar to learn more about what we heard from those in DEI roles and to offer some leadership tips for Chief Diversity Officers and HR leaders with DEI roles or responsibilities.
