What Are Common Challenges in Implementing D&I Strategies?
Despite the benefits, implementing D&I strategies can be challenging. Some common hurdles include:
Resistance to Change: Employees or leaders may resist D&I initiatives due to a lack of awareness or fear of change. Unconscious Bias: Unconscious biases can affect hiring, promotion, and day-to-day interactions, undermining D&I efforts. Lack of Resources: Effective D&I programs require time, budget, and dedicated personnel, which may not always be available. Measurement and Accountability: Measuring the impact of D&I initiatives and holding leaders accountable can be complex.
