That’s not actually how DEI works.

DEI initiatives provide training to help people in organizations make less biased decisions and be more respectful and inclusive of people from various backgrounds.

For example, instead of hiring someone from the boss’s alma mater, they might hire someone from a HBC who is equally qualified and helps bring a different perspective. Or hire a native Spanish speaker for a bilingual position instead of someone who spent a year abroad in Barcelona.

I’m happy to show studies about why it is necessary to correct hiring biases, and how organizations benefit from the efforts.
