Paying people is no longer enough. Companies facing “The Great Resignation” are scrambling for ways to increase employee retention, boost loyalty, and make their people proud to work for them.

When people feel free to be who they are–both privately and publicly–they’re likely to be more passionate and engaged with your business.

But of course, DE&I is about far more than just ticking boxes. It’s crucial for every business to move beyond diversity as a statistic to build equity and inclusion throughout the company culture.
