We Know That Leading Systemic Change
Is Harder Than It Looks

Amidst a roller coaster of challenges for HR and DEI professionals, including fading social momentum, economic uncertainty, and a startling turnover rate for DEI leadership, it makes community membership vital.

According to Harvard Business Review and Forbes, the average Diversity Leader’s tenure is now under two years, so joining a support community is crucial to retention. 

  • Diversity Leaders’ average tenure dropped below two years, down from over three years in 2018.
  • Nearly 60% of 2018 Chief Diversity Officers (CDO) left to pursue other interests.
  • Only 18% of current Diversity Leaders have prior experience, a decline from 26% in 2018.
  • About 65% of Diversity Leaders operate without direct reports, working in an unsupported silo.

FAQ

Our programs offer a combination of synchronous and asynchronous learning to allow participants to engage with content at their own pace. As a result, our immersive community-based learning platform empowers leaders to build their skills and knowledge while connecting with a supportive network of peers.
  1. Access to a Network of Peers: Joining the support community allows DEI and HR leaders to connect with like-minded professionals facing similar challenges. This network fosters a sense of belonging and provides an opportunity to share insights, experiences, and strategies for promoting inclusivity in the workplace.
  2. Expert Guidance and Resources: The community offers access to a wealth of resources curated by experts in the field, including Margaret Spence. Members can benefit from specialized knowledge, tips, and tools that can help them navigate the complexities of their roles more effectively and confidently.
  3. Professional Development Opportunities: Regular events like the Third Wednesday Open Forum and various webinars and courses provide continuous learning opportunities. These sessions equip DEI and HR leaders with new skills and insights, ensuring they stay abreast of the latest trends and best practices in DEI.
  4. Support in Overcoming Challenges: With high turnover rates and often facing under-resourced environments, DEI and HR leaders can find solace and practical support in this community.
