As You Sow and Whistle Stop Capital recently released a report that reviewed the EEO-1 forms (a best practice workplace equity data set) across multiple years for 1,641 companies, looking at the link between manager diversity and corporate financial performance. This work is grounded in the proven fact that diversity is beneficial and companies who are intentional about their equity programs and practices have an opportunity to outperform their peers financially. In this session, Jaylen Spann sets the stage with context on EEO-1 forms and other best practice data sets. Spann will also highlight the statistically significant findings within each sector and what this means for engagement within them. Research on the benchmarking of corporate transparency practices will also be shared.
