2. What concrete steps has it taken toward those commitments?

3. What challenges do you think it faces in meeting them?

I hate saying this but generally when past heads of DEI are frustrated it indicates that to the company that DEI isn’t something to actually invest in but rather empty words. I would recommend looking at smaller, actual minority owned businesses instead. Or Golin, which actually believes it.

Good to know. I am genuinely glad to hear it. I do believe organizations can change. It was really unbelievable when they rolled out that silly three-co-CEO model and they filled all three slots with straight white middle aged men. Like they couldn’t find a POC or a woman for one of the slots? Even when they had a woman who had worked her whole career there and was more experienced than all three dudes. It was a slap in the face to her and showed the women on staff just where they stood. That was a final straw for a lot of people. It was too bad because I really loved the work I did there. Seems like the criticism from that motivated some real change, which is refreshing.

“Tell me about the two highest-ranking (insert minority group(s) meaningful to you) employees here, and what has made them stay and thrive.”

The two examples part is what’s important. If they stutter and the best they can come up with is the Diversity and Inclusion VP and then the head of janitorial services, that’s insight into what kind of support, or not, you’ll see in the future there.

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?
