Aligning Your Career with Diversity Equity and Inclusion: Tips for Finding Inclusive Employers

As the workplace continues to evolve, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) have become essential values for many job seekers. If you want to work for a company that shares your commitment to DEI, there are some ways to identify organizations that embrace these principles.

3 Key Ways to Find an Employer that Values DEI

  • Research the company’s culture.  Explore the company’s mission, values, and workplace culture. Look for clear evidence of their DEI efforts, such as diversity initiatives, employee resource groups, and awards for inclusion.
  • Network with employees. Connect with current employees on platforms like LinkedIn. Ask them about their experience with the company’s DEI practices—do they feel supported and valued?
  • Ask DEI-focused questions during interviews. Use your interview as a chance to ask about the company’s DEI initiatives. Remember to ask about their programs, policies, and overall commitment to fostering an inclusive culture. This shows both your interest in the company and your dedication to inclusion.
