Measuring Inclusion and DEI Backlash | Paolo Gaudiano on DEI & Business Impact

Measuring Inclusion and DEI Backlash is more critical than ever as organizations navigate the complexities of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). In this insightful conversation, Paolo Gaudiano—author of Measuring Inclusion and a leader in DEI research—breaks down the meaning of inclusion and inclusive society, the business case for DEI, and why companies struggle with diversity backlash in the workplace.

In this episode, Paolo Gaudiano addresses these pressing questions and provides actionable strategies backed by DEI and meritocracy research and his groundbreaking inclusion metrics for companies.

If you're searching for practical ways to make DEI work in a corporate setting, struggling with measuring backlash, or curious about the real financial impact of diversity and inclusion in business, this episode will provide the clarity you need.
