Evolving Perceptions About Diversity and Inclusion
Despite recent diversity initiatives, federal government agencies still struggle with diversity and inclusion in the workforce according to new GBC study. The survey results indicate there may be opportunity to provide resources that better address diversity and inclusion challenges.
The federal workforce is becoming increasingly diverse, but attitudes and opinions still vary widely on the effectiveness of diversity and inclusion (D&I) programs. In a recent Government Business Council and Monster Government Solutions research survey of 750 federal leaders, nearly three fourths report having felt misunderstood in the workplace due to differences in identity, while fewer than a third say their organization is effective at leveraging diversity.
