In the wake of the #MeToo and Black Lives Matter movements, HR leaders are increasingly being tasked with addressing the inequities that exist in their workplaces. This may involve brutal self-reflection and a willingness to admit that their companies are far from the equitable places they once thought they were. On a positive note, experts say, employers appear to be taking diversity, equity and inclusion efforts seriously--and they're getting some help from tech. For instance, some HR technology providers are creating AI-based solutions that shine a light on employers' often decades-old management practices that can allow them to overlook an all-white senior management team and C-suite or to ignore instances where minorities are leaving hostile workplaces. The role of technology should not be underestimated and can be a great enabler of DE&I, says Kay Formanek, founder and CEO of Diversity and Performance, a diversity education company.
