Diversity Corporate Challenge Story
The Diversity Corporate Challenge was born after the world witnessed the murder of George Floyd. That’s when Carla Harris of The People Institute, rallied 13 South Florida Chambers of Commerce, dozens of business owners, professionals and attendees from around the country, to host the Racial Awareness and Cultural Equity (R.A.C.E) Town Hall discussions, between September and December, 2020. Six challenges make up the diversity challenge and companies may choose to accept one or all six.
​
Carla Harris says, “The one thing that seemed to surprise the participants the most, was when it comes to hiring practices. Simply put, “You don’t know what you don’t know!”
Problem
Based on the discussions during the Racial Awareness & Cultural Equity (R.A.C.E.) Town Halls, companies lack the systems to create diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplaces.
Less than 3% of US companies have cultivated a strong pipeline of African American and Black candidates for management,leadership, and developed a plan for recruitment.
