Diversity & Inclusion
Family Friendly New Mexico – Business Toolkit
The last several years have brought increasing focus to diversity and inclusion inside companies and organizations. Increasingly, employees and job-seekers are asking for more information about the diversity of a company’s workforce, and what efforts are being made inside organizations to create an inclusive culture, where employees of any sex, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, or other external factors that have historically influenced an individual’s advancement in an organization. Further, employees, customers, and members of the public have become acutely sensitized to companies and organizations talking about diversity, but not actually enforcing policies or practices that lead to a more diverse workforce, with a more diverse composition in their leadership teams.
