How can companies ensure that their efforts to promote diversity and inclusion in decision-making are not just a checkbox exercise, but are truly ingrained in the company culture and values?

Companies can ensure that their efforts to promote diversity and inclusion are not just a checkbox exercise by actively involving employees from diverse backgrounds in decision-making processes. They should also provide ongoing training and education on diversity and inclusion to all employees, and hold leaders accountable for promoting a diverse and inclusive workplace. Additionally, companies can establish clear goals and metrics for diversity and inclusion initiatives, and regularly assess and communicate progress to ensure these values are truly ingrained in the company culture.
