Many healthcare organizations recognize the importance of diversity and inclusion (D&I) to their people, business and patients, and have made significant investments to strengthen their D&I efforts enterprise-wide. However, healthcare workers think their organizations are not taking enough action to actively demonstrate D&I’s importance. Eagle Hill Consulting surveyed more than 500 U.S. healthcare workers to understand how they perceive and feel about their employers’ actions to support workplace D&I. The findings below tell the story.
