INVESTING IN WOMEN OF COLOR IS GOOD FOR BUSINESS
Representation of women of color falls off relative to White men, White women, and men of color at every step in the corporate pipeline, leaving them severely underrepresented at the top.
Employees with women managers are more likely to say that their manager has supported and helped them over the past year. When managers support employee well-being and companies prioritize DEI, employees are happier, less burned out, and less likely to consider leaving their jobs. – Women in the Workplace 2021
