As we’ve spent the last few years trying to understand what an equitable and fair workplace looks like, you would think we would have made at least some progress. Nearly 90% of Fortune 100 companies list equity as a corporate value. Mentions of diversity, equity, and inclusion on earnings calls have increased six-fold since 2017.

Yet, research shows that more than 4 in 5 employees say their working environment lacks fairness. That perception is, in layman’s terms, not good. If we’ve improved fairness and equity, it’s gone from absolute rock bottom to something well short of the bare minimum.
