Diversity, equity, and inclusion is a challenge that corporations all over the nation are trying to conquer. Some have settled for checking the box, but privately, they’re still operating under the same hard and fast rules that they’ve always used. In other cases, some efforts are being guided by forward-thinking leaders with a vision to make the dream of equality in the workplace a reality.
