The ubiquity of #MeToo in the workplace made it clear that this is not simply a problem with individuals, to be solved via risk mitigation or legal restitution, but rather a problem with systems and cultures, which must be solved holistically.

Focusing on diversity and inclusion is not a new idea, but few can deny that we have reached an inflection point. After years of spending time and money on diversity and inclusion, there is a palpable feeling of fatigue: the representation of historically underrepresented employees has not changed commensurate with those efforts and many organizations are still far from reaching their goals. Before #MeToo, what you didn't know was unlikely to hurt you. Not anymore. Now, what you don't know can hurt you, your brand, and your stock price.
