Built In: Why Isn’t DEI Working as It Should?

Conchie Associates

Despite pouring resources into diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, companies still aren’t as diverse as they could be. Hiring a data-driven chief diversity officer can help.


Many companies keen to resolve discrimination issues have opted to appoint chief diversity officers. These executive-level positions are tasked with inculcating justice and fairness within the organization through a variety of means, such as encouraging diverse hiring and promotion, organizing diversity training programs, addressing discriminatory systems and events and advising other leaders about legal requirements and diversity concerns.


Companies that have introduced the CDO position should be praised for their effort, but such decisions may not change their organizations as much as they expect. We recently wrote an article for Built In to discuss the following topics:

  1. What’s Limiting CDOs?

  2. Why Doesn’t DEI Training Work?

  3. The Key to Reversing Discriminatory Hiring Practices

  4. What to Look for in a CDO
