In our series on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) leaders, we’ve tended to focus primarily on the private sector. The private sector has a lot of interesting and exciting developments that are emerging in this space.
However, DEI is also a key consideration within government organizations as well. And, the structure, funding mechanisms and political element of government organizations can create unique challenges and opportunities for promoting DEI efforts. Additionally, looking at DEI through a government lens is useful for those in the private sector because governments often serve as testing grounds for new strategies and approaches to various efforts (including, but not limited to DEI) and can also serve as a model for the private sector.
