?? Foot traffic at Target dropped after it scaled back its DEI efforts. This isn’t just about corporate reputation—it’s about business outcomes. Customers and employees are paying attention. When companies deprioritize equity, they don’t just lose goodwill; they lose talent, loyalty, and revenue. And yet, many hiring teams still ask whether prioritizing equitable hiring is worth the effort. The data keeps proving the same point: Inclusion isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s a business imperative. #Hiring #TalentAcquisition #DEIB #FutureOfWork
