Business leaders continue to prioritize talent. Organizations’ commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is key to attracting talent and customers. While DEI faced challenges in 2023, a recent Workday survey of 2,600 global business leaders—including CEOs and leaders from HR, finance, IT, and sales—reveals that 78% say the importance of DEI increased in the past 12 months, with 85% stating they have budget for DEI initiatives—an increase of 11% compared to last year’s survey.
