The most interesting finding in this new research by MIT Sloan is the fact that failing to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion is considered a signal of a toxic culture.

Our analysis found that the leading elements contributing to toxic cultures include failure to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion; workers feeling disrespected; and unethical behavior.

It’a no longer just a matter of being fair to others who don’t look like us, don’t think like us, don’t see the world like us.

It’s a matter of business continuity.

Wake up.

A toxic culture is 10.4 times more likely to contribute to attrition than compensation: https://t.co/X4taF85ioJ pic.twitter.com/YISngujTPX
