Discussion 4: Diversity in the Workplace
In 2023, when reviewing a list of CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, less than 5% are women—in fact, there are more men named David that are CEOs of Fortune 500 companies than there are women CEOs.
As we discussed, when leadership at the executive level is diverse, companies are more profitable. So why aren’t more companies making sure their senior team is diverse?
Discussion Prompt
Take a look at 2023’s Fortune 500 listLinks to an external site. and choose any company that has a CEO who is part of a minority group. This could be Tim Cook at Apple, or Mary Dillon at Ulta, or anyone else of your choosing. Then, go out to that company’s website and determine the diversity of that company’s senior team (hint: any publicly traded company is likely to list information on their top three executives in the shareholder’s section).
How did your company do in 2023—did they perform better than in 2022 and 2021? Do they have any space on their careers page dedicated to diversity? Answer these questions in your paper.
1. Write about the company’s diversity initiatives.
2. Do you feel they are benefitting the business?
