Here’s the bottom line:
In today’s business world, DEI is a must-have. Effectively incorporating DEI initiatives into your organization – whether a nonprofit, corporation, small business or association – creates a culture your team loves and your customers notice.
Our DEI strategies boost our clients’ innovation, collective problem-solving, and reported workplace satisfaction.
Benefits of Effective DEI
recruitment
retention
Creating a workplace culture with a sense of inclusion and belonging improves the stability of your company. Studies have shown that workplace belonging is linked to a 56% increase in job performance and a 50% reduction in turnover risk.
innovation
Cultivating a team of people who bring diverse backgrounds, ideologies and perspectives gives your org a competitive edge in innovation. The Harvard Business Review found that diverse companies are 70% likelier to capture a new market. They’re also 45% more likely to report increased market share year-over-year.
employee engagement
The relationship between employees and their organizations is a key to shared success. Like any relationship, you get out what you put in. Employees who are satisfied with their company’s commitment to DEI are 2x as engaged in their company’s success.
public impact
The relationship between organizations and their clients is clearly impacted by DEI initiatives. 64% of US consumers are likely to increase their chance of making a first purchase when they watch advertisements and announcements with a diverse, inclusive and socially conscious approach – and 67% are more likely to make a second purchase.

nonprofits
Nonprofits tend to face similar issues when it comes to managing employees, volunteers, Board members, and the communities they partner with. You’re tasked with inspiring members and volunteers, reducing turnover & burnout, fundraising, navigating the political climate, and aligning your nonprofit’s external & internal values. As mission-driven organizations whose stakeholders really care about social justice, we know that getting DEI right is mission-critical.
DEI helps nonprofit organizations:
- Align their actions with their stated mission
- Reduce employee turnover and burnout
- Boost volunteer & member enthusiasm

Education Providers
The primary focus of any good education program is to improve student learning and outcomes. DEI initiatives have a high impact on student learning because they embrace difference in perspectives, leading to a more dynamic academic environment. The entire institution including faculty & staff, the recruitment process, communication between students/teachers, and course design needs to incorporate DEI principles into its foundational structure.
