You Can't Improve What You Don't Measure: DEIB Progress Begins With Data

DEIB efforts have been around for decades, yet 2020 showed us how little progress we've made and how little accountability there is. Two years later, we have no way of knowing how those prolific commitments and proclamations hold up against real results; progress cannot be understood without data and we have so little of it. In this talk, Pam Yang explains why publicly tracking workforce data — and being transparent with that data — is the only way to ensure that companies are accountable to their commitments and devise sustainable solutions that drive real results.
