Survey Overview
The Commission on Economic Incluison’s annual Employers Survey on Diversity™ has provided contextual information on the status of economic diversity and inclusion efforts in our region for nine years. The survey serves two purposes: (1) to provide individual organizations with a tool for examining their own diversity and inclusion efforts; and (2) to offer insights about the overall diversity management and inclusion practices of the Commission member organizations.
