The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport (TIDES) released the 2022 National Basketball Association (NBA) Racial and Gender Report Card (RGRC) today.

Thank you to the NBA & all its leaders who have done such an incredible job promoting #inclusion. https://t.co/Gg4vSoXm4Z

If your organization has not sent a message about human issues affecting #diversity, then now is the time. Many industry #leaders today are using their voices for positive change and supporting one another is what diversity is all about. https://t.co/hht2y27xlY

In the past few years, companies have pledged to embrace #DEI in their workplaces, however, some organizations have fallen behind, leaving employees of color feel unsupported. A good read from @CNBC on how to fix this problem. https://t.co/z4vU9OWdah

"Businesses are spending more money on #DEI initiatives than ever before. By one estimate, the global market for DEI reached $7.5 billion in 2020, and it is expected to more than double by 2026."
What are your thoughts on the state of DEI in the workforce?

[MIT Sloan Management Review @mitsmr]

The more you talk about belonging, the more aware your staff will be that you’re committed to helping them feel it. #DEI https://t.co/E3CTOhx2sY

[Oris Stuart III @OrisStuart]

#DEI training and initiatives can bring together the ideas and perspectives of people to create a more unified workforce where all employees feel included. There are many tools and ideas for organizations to create effective DEI experiences for all. https://t.co/N7zIrYUwkd

[Oris Stuart III @OrisStuart]

When a company contracts with #DiverseSuppliers, they not only boost business but also create economic opportunities in their communities. A great advocate of this is Cheryl Harris of The @Allstate Corp. She provides great insight into this conversation. https://t.co/7AXc9IIL6K

In the @NBA last season, there were a total of 75 full-time officials, with 6 of those being women. Since 1997, the league has had at least one female referee, but recently, it has taken steps to grow that number. https://t.co/ZTfrHmnqUx

"Whatever is going on in an employee's life, employers can take a proactive approach toward equity and inclusion by being flexible about their return to the office and leave policies." A good read from @entrepreneur.

[Shirley Engelmeier @sengelmeier]

If an organization seeks to retain an engaged workforce as employees start returning to the office, an equitable approach to re-entering the workplace is required, according to this article for @entrepreneur. https://t.co/Ne04x0YsJz #DEI #inclusion #beinclusive

"Employers may want to ensure DEI efforts are well-received and find ways to ensure accountability." A good read from @hrdive. https://t.co/6GQFItdrY9

[Shirley Engelmeier @sengelmeier]

There is a direct connection between subpar #DEI efforts and employee attrition, according recent survey results. Read more in this article from @hrdive. https://t.co/xHNSroXhsr #inclusion #inclusiveleader #BeInclusive
