New York, NY - [April 19, 2023] - According to a new report from Bar None Games, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) education in the workplace can lead to a long-term competitive advantage for companies. The report highlights the importance of creating an inclusive and diverse work environment and the benefits it can bring to businesses.
The report finds that companies that prioritize DEI education and training for their employees are better positioned to attract and retain top talent, increase employee engagement and productivity, and build stronger relationships with customers and clients. It also suggests that companies that fail to prioritize DEI initiatives risk losing employees, customers, and clients to competitors who are more committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace.

89% of employees say that commitment to diversity and inclusion is critical in an employer
96% of business leaders say that workforce education programs drive business growth and deliver a long-term competitive advantage
Innovation has been shown to increase by up to 20% as a result of cognitive diversity

"Over the past year, Bar None Games has partnered with over 300 companies to promote diversity and inclusion," stated Spencer Fertig, CEO of Bar None Games. "The companies that we’ve worked with have reported greater employee engagement and a measurable boost in employee morale as a result of their DEI initiatives. As a minority-owned business, we’re uniquely positioned to facilitate DEI events that are authentic, educational, celebratory, and entertaining."
The report also highlights the need for ongoing DEI education and training. Companies should provide employees with regular opportunities to learn about and engage with diversity, equity, and inclusion issues, and should strive to create a workplace culture that values and celebrates differences.
