We provided CDE credentials to the president and their entire senior executive teams at Georgia Southern University and the Medical University of South Carolina. These two organizations are the only ones in the United States and globally across all industries to have achieved this elite designation. It would be an honor to partner with your organization and have you join this premier group leading change from the top in a unique, visible, and impactful way.

In today’s global economy, the workplace and marketplace are facing complex issues including changing demographics, gender pay gap, equity in hiring and promotions, declining populations, untapped talent among underrepresented groups, and various social movements. Leaders need DEIE competencies to navigate through these issues impacting the workforce and the marketplace and convert them into opportunities.

Additionally, as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) or Environmental Social Governance (ESG), organizations are making DEIE a priority to effectively manage these important commitments. They value balancing purpose with profit. They value balancing people, planet, and profit. The business and human case of DEIE reflects a clear competitive advantage for those companies who identify this strategy as a “must-have” versus a “nice-have” business imperative.

Fostering equitable, inclusive, and engaging workplace cultures enables employees to bring their authentic selves to work, unleashing their full potential to drive innovation.
