• According to Census Bureau projections, people of color will be the majority population in the United States by 2043.  Who will be your customers?  Who will be your boss?
• Moving toward racial equity in the workplace is good for business.  Racial inequities lead to increased employee stress and health problems. Racial equity reduces costs and increases productivity.
• Racial equity also leads to greater diversity among employees and a higher level of cultural competency.  Cultural competency, in turn, leads to the development of new markets and increases in innovation.
