Why Diversity Programs Fail
After decades of effort and billions of dollars, the results are in: traditional diversity programs don’t work. In this HCI Keynote video, Harvard Professor Frank Dobbin diagnoses the problems with most diversity programs, and shares the tactics and strategies you can use to improve inclusion at all levels of your organization.
Key insights:
- Don’t focus on enforcement and compliance.
- Use voluntary programs like mentoring and employee referrals to create a more inclusive workplace.
- Invest in childcare assistance and other work-life integration initiatives to increase the pipeline of women in leadership.
