Companies continue to invest and re-evaluate their DEI programs, in a bid to ensure genuine change within their organizations. However, organizations are prone to pitfalls that can easily be avoided, if certain structures are put in place. One of such structures is to take DEI beyond a program to becoming a part and parcel of the entire organizational decision making process.
