01 May 2022  |  www.businessinsider.com  |  English  |  World Economic Forum

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, a panel concluded that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) progress has stalled globally due to the pandemic and Ukraine war. Quotas and KPIs are insufficient for improving marginalized lives, with setbacks causing inequalities to persist or worsen. Companies like Solvay and Bloomberg are implementing unconscious bias training, but challenges remain in achieving representation in top management. Panelists emphasized DEI as a moral and economic imperative, facing pushback in culture wars. Legal frameworks, gender mainstreaming, and policy changes, such as extended maternity leave and education access, are necessary for change. DEI is considered as urgent as climate change.
