DEIB committees and affinity groups are often a cornerstone in an organization’s DEIB strategy. To gain increased cultural benefit, Ethos offers a structured program for refining these initiatives. This offering enables organizations to get the greatest value from the time, resources, and energy dedicated to establishing these employee-powered committees.
Ethos will support the development and implementation of your organization’s DEIB committee or at least one affinity group. The resulting DEIB Vision Statement, Principles, and Initiatives may be suitable for a DEIB portion of your website (for example, linked from the Careers page).
