After several decades of attention to diversity and inclusion, most large companies have programs and policies that are intended to expand diversity in the workforce. They often have diversity officers to oversee these efforts.
My guess is that companies find now what I did when I taught graduate courses in diversity or ran corporate workshops starting in the mid-1980s: that everyone denounces racism, says they believe in civil rights and thinks of equal opportunity as the solution to inequality.
