- So how do you get started on DEI initiatives? There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Start with the data!

- Lack of support from leadership and a lack of accountability for DEI goals are the biggest barriers to success.

- Earn the buy-in of executives and all stakeholders by knowing their goals and showing them how DEI can help achieve them. Data to the rescue!

- A diverse and inclusive workforce is even more valuable in times of crisis as it leads to diverse ideas and solutions, allowing companies to be agile and adjust to the times.

- It’s all about valuing our uniqueness, celebrating them, and building empathy within our workplace.
