Within a company’s overall DEI strategy, equity may be the missing link, particularly in three main areas — compensation, advancement opportunities and educational requirements — according to the 2023 Equity in Hiring Research Report from HireVue.
Only half of employees responding to a survey said they felt supported in their career growth and that people from all educational backgrounds have equitable opportunities to advance their careers.
“It takes deliberate effort to recognize the unique resources that different employees need to access the same opportunities — and ultimately thrive within the organization,” the report authors wrote.
