The
Chicago United Corporate Diversity Profile is a bi-annual survey
that measures racial diversity specifically in the leadership ranks
of large corporations, on corporate boards and in executive level
management. It serves as a benchmark for corporations to measure
their progress in this area. Large corporations have grown increasingly
successful at diversity and inclusion within their employment ranks.
Yet, the study consistently highlights the need to expand the pool
of minorities available for leadership positions which begins by
growing diverse talent in the leadership pipeline.
The
Corporate Diversity Roadmap will be introduced in 2008 where Chicago
United will analyze the findings of the survey and recommend action-oriented
steps for improving the current state of diversity and inclusion
in corporate Chicago.
