Diverse thought fosters innovation, which is why NPower's Command Shift Coalition recently launched the Diversity Directive. This groundbreaking resource was created to provide guidance, strategies, relevant case studies, and more to meet companies where they are on their DEI journeys.
A recent survey conducted by the coalition found that a staggering 75% of American adults think that US companies have not fulfilled their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) commitments made during the pandemic. One-fourth of respondents also admitted uncertainty about what actions companies should take to address DEI initiatives.
By leveraging the valuable resources provided by the Diversity Directive, companies can take tangible steps towards meaningful and lasting change, benefitting their employees, their businesses, and society as a whole. To access the Diversity Directive and learn more about the work Command Shift is a part of, visit commandshift.org/diversitydirective.
