HR headlines often highlight negative trends like resignations, talent shortages, and burnout. But there is a positive, fascinating story making a real difference – the growth of roles in Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI).
Since 2015, executive diversity and inclusion job titles have grown exponentially, jumping by 113%. What’s more, nearly 40% of Fortune 500 companies now have executives dedicated to DEI.
The spike is not only occurring at the C-suite level but also for diversity and inclusion positions across all levels of organizations. To that end, after an initial dip at the start of the pandemic, diversity-specialized positions have risen by 55%.
