Those of you that work in an organization that has DEI programming, how do you feel it has benefitted and/or hurt your career?

This company's emphasis has been on preventing and punishing instances of discrimination, and not in highlighting individual diversities or in any way playing a numbers game or quota system to present an image of diversity and inclusion. Promotion, raises and even hiring is based on what you can do, not what you are. I believe our version of DEI has improved the overall workplace environment, reduced and almost eliminated any instances of prejudice and hate speech, and lets all employees know that everyone has an equal opportunity based on their performance.

That’s awesome.

It helps get my resume seen by employers who have an interview quota to hit. And on occasion I’ve been interviewed to hit the DEI quota too. I may not get hired, but at least it’s another practice interview.

Pretty neutral. We already had a diverse workforce in the lower ranks, it is in the partnership and leadership levels where our diversity is sorely lacking.

I am still paid below the published payscale and far less than my male colleagues in my practice who I am out performing… so it seems to just be warm-fuzzy feel good conversations rather than actual action. Typical.

I’m having the hardest time finding a new job. I have 12 years of HR experience, a masters in HR, SHRM certification, and all I keep getting are rejection emails. I’ve never experienced this difficult of a time searching for new opportunities. Is this normal once you hit a certain level in your career or is it just me?

Just out of curiosity, have you ever started a new job and thought what the hell am I getting myself into?!?
If it was the wrong fit how long did you grin and bear it? 6 months / 1 year / longer?
Did it get better with time or worse? (For instance just a case of lack of know-how)
If you left did you find securing a new job difficult due to only being there for so little time?
