Interesting take on the role of DEI executives in large public companies in the WSJ today: "Maybe Hold Off on Getting Rid of the DEI Leader." The article, authored by Rick Wartzman and Kelly Tang at Bendable Labs highlights findings by As You Sow using data compiled by the The Drucker Institute at Claremont Graduate University which ranks "902 large, publicly traded U.S. corporations in five areas: customer satisfaction, employee engagement and development, innovation, social responsibility and financial strength." The article notes that "[t]he findings were unambiguous. The 512 firms that have someone in an explicit DEI role scored, on average, significantly higher in nearly all of the elements of our rankings than the 190 companies lacking such a position ... [t]he one place this didn’t hold was in financial strength, though the marks there were basically a wash." The study also suggests that firms with higher-ranked DEI executives performed better still: "the firms that scored, on average, the highest in every category of our rankings, including financial strength, don’t just have someone carrying a DEI title; they boast a dedicated diversity executive in the C-suite." The article sounds a cautionary note, however: based on interviews with dozens of diversity executives, the author of an upcoming academic paper by Katina Sawyer, Ph.D. found that if companies overemphasize that they are standing behind DEI because it bolsters customer satisfaction or innovation or the stock price, it can send an unintended message - that you wouldn’t treat people fairly if didn’t lead to these business outcomes" - which undermines the whole thing. So for maximum effect, do the right thing for the right reasons; use the data to show that, by the way, it's also the smart economic move, too. #dei #governance #esgleadership #csr https://lnkd.in/gSm8WMC9
