How it works

DEI work is core to the business strategy and should be incentivized . Whether the work occurs in a formal or informal capacity, incentives signal the importance of DEI efforts. Within an organization, incentives serve to ensure leadership’s long-term commitment to progress and to reward employees who take on the brunt of DEI work.

At the executive level, compensation can be used as a strategic driver of DEI alignment. This is a natural step because compensation packages already help organizations incentivize progress on other business and financial goals . Executive compensation tied to progress on DEI is becoming increasingly common but is not yet the norm for most organizations.
