The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee provides guidance and information to NACE leadership and staff on DEI opportunities that are beneficial to NACE members. They also help NACE collect, create and share information, education, and resources on DEI in the catering and events industry. This committee fosters collaboration and collects feedback from member-organized affinity groups.
Prioritizing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is paramount in cultivating a fair and inclusive employee environment, particularly in light of the fact that younger generations are increasingly inclined to align themselves with organizations that demonstrate a genuine commitment to DEI. Findings from McKinsey reveal that businesses boasting the most diverse executive teams stand a 36% higher likelihood of outperforming their peers in terms of profitability.
For a deeper insight into DEI initiatives, their significance for both employees and the broader business landscape, as well as real-world instances of DEI programs in action at various companies, checkout this article. You'll also discover successful DEI initiatives that you may want to consider implementing within your own organization.
