Business leaders like Mark Cuban emphasize the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace. DEI is about expanding the candidate pool and hiring based on merit, not just for quotas. It creates a competitive advantage and a stronger workforce. Companies benefit from reflecting society's diversity in their workforce. DEI should be a core value integrated into the responsibilities of the CEO, head of HR, and chief legal counsel, rather than a separate department. Laws now penalize companies for not hiring from diverse groups. DEI is predicted to evolve beyond a specific executive role and become fundamental to good management. Ensuring diversity beyond lower positions is crucial to avoid legal repercussions and improve shareholder value.
