A majority of Americans across nearly all demographic groups said DEI initiatives have made no impact on their personal careers, according to a newly released Harris Poll/Axios Vibes survey.
Why it matters: Republican lawmakers and activists have vilified DEI, a term for diversity, equity and inclusion policies used by employers. Companies have responded by rolling back programs.
- Yet Americans — and businesses — have a generally positive to at least indifferent view on the subject.
- On balance, most demographic groups were more likely to say DEI benefited their career than hindered it.
It wasn’t. I’m talking about the backlash that these movies have been receiving from fans over overt DEI-related positions.
The original comment I responded to was FlyingSquid saying:
And I was pointing out a situation where that’s not necessarily true, where DEI narrows the customer base.
Thought so, glad we agree
