DEIA initiatives are a critical investment in culture, innovation, and bottom-line growth; however, unconscious and implicit bias remain key barriers to hiring, development, and pay parity among underrepresented groups. Entrepreneurial organizations must prioritize a more strategic, results- oriented, and practical approach that transforms leadership and staff training at every level to promote a truly inclusive, equitable and accessible environment. Building an organization that prizes unique thinking and experiences is a crucial step in attracting the best, most diverse talent base possible – and in today’s war for talent, this has never been more urgent.
