🌍 Diversity & Inclusion: A Strategic Imperative or a Passing Trend? 🏢
Costco recently made headlines for its steadfast commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practices, even as some companies scale back similar efforts. A board member openly defended DEI, calling it not just a moral responsibility but a business imperative. 👏
This bold stance comes at a time when the DEI landscape faces significant challenges, with growing scrutiny and debate about its long-term value. Are we witnessing a pivotal moment where companies must decide between staying the course or stepping back?
