Many companies want to improve their efforts when it comes to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). But progress doesn’t happen overnight. So what first steps can leaders take to ensure it becomes and remains a top priority?

Hiring isn’t easy, period…and adding DEI into the mix can often make it harder, especially when recruiting in industries that typically aren’t diverse. That’s why your DEI strategy needs to be long-term, so you can identify and nurture the people you want to hire.
