We asked seven prominent diversity leaders across a multitude of industries to share one key message or words of advice for other companies as it relates to creating a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) program. Here is what they had to say:
Yetta Toliver, Global Head of Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging, Xerox: In order to drive change, an effective diversity, inclusion, and belonging strategy needs to be integrated into your larger business strategy and include broad-based accountability. Accountability, starting with leaders, is essential.
Joel Dennison, Chief Compliance Officer,
PPG Industries: It takes a lot of time and a lot of effort, and people need to understand as they begin the journey that it’s about changing hearts and minds. That takes a lot of interaction with people at all levels of the organization, led by the CEO.

The role has many names diversity manager, director of diversity, chief diversity officer. Whatever the title, one thing is certain: It is currently one of the hottest positions in the job market today.
According to LinkedIn data, diversity leadership roles experienced “an enormous upward spike” in late May and early June 2020 amid U.S. national protests calling for racial equity and social justice following the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and others in the Black community. Since then, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) programs have reached a heightened level of urgency, with several companies and organizations appointing their first-ever DE&I officer. Others have elevated the role to a global, executive-level position.
