How to identify and fill skills gaps in the workplace

Supporting diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) has long been a priority for businesses, but the emphasis on DEIB has been growing across industries in recent years. Shifts in the public consciousness and new insights regarding the business benefits of diversity have led more organizations to update their approach to workplace DEIB initiatives.

According to WorldatWork, in 2021, more than 80% of U.S. employers reported that they were currently implementing DEIB initiatives. Additionally, 82% of small business owners say they are making an effort to embrace DEIB in the workplace, with 15% reporting that they began investing in DEIB during the COVID-19 pandemic.

While most business leaders acknowledge that they want to prioritize diversity, equity, inclusivity and belonging within their organizations, many are unsure of the best way to do so. Supporting DEIB is highly beneficial for businesses, but can also be very nuanced, and will often require leaders to address existing problems within their work environment.
