Are racial equity equity pledges being kept?
Today, Baltimore-based apparel brand Under Armour shared an update on its diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. In July 2020, the company made commitments to improve BIPOC representation and succession amid protests in the wake of George Floyd's death.
The numbers the company shared show gains:
- BIPOC teammates in the U.S. at Director and above levels increased from 20% to 22%
- Black teammates in the U.S. at Director and above levels increased from 7% to 8%
- BIPOC leadership successors increased from 17% to 22%
- Black leadership successors increased from 8% to 11%
We're asking everyone: Did your employer keep their racial equity promises from June 2020? Will how they've acted in the last year affect how long you plan to stay? Tell us in this survey. (In order to hear authentic experiences, we will keep this anonymous — we won't name you or your employer in publication but may contact you to confirm your submission.)
