They want leaders to focus on making work fair for everyone across levels and teams because their research shows that such efforts lead to organizations being both meritocratic and diverse, equitable, and inclusive. If we can’t hire the best people, if we don’t know how to evaluate them fairly, if we don’t give them the opportunities to grow and stretch and learn new skills along the way and then put them into roles where those skills can be leveraged, we’re simply not going to be able to run the most financially successful or otherwise high performing organization that we could be.
