Diversity practitioners, us included, have often said that commitment to diversity from the top leadership is critical to its success within organisations. Now there is comprehensive research which backs this claim.
The report, written by Gillian Shapiro, points out that companies with the most successful record on diversity have the following in common:
• Their statement of values specifically includes diversity and inclusion
• The CEO is held accountable for progress on diversity
• The Board is diverse in its make-up
• The CEO talks regularly to his/her direct lines and demands regular reports on the progress they are making on diversity
• Managers are trained on diversity
