Corporate America has been talking about DEI for decades. But we still have some way to go:

As of 2018, the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports 78% of the nation’s workforce is white.
Quantum Workplace’s Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace report suggest 75% of employees from under-represented backgrounds don’t feel they’ve personally benefited from diversity programs.

One reason for this disconnect is from a lack of accountability programs to hold employers to their DEI claims.

Over the last year, VentureWeb worked to secure a Gold-level partnership with BMAA. They shared an overview of the experience and 3 key takeaways with their audience.
