It’s kind of like this. White males loudly proclaim that the Democratic Party is doing enough for women and other “minorities” though women make up a majority of registered voters.
The reality is different, but loud white males are pretty loud and insistent.
Workplace diversity programs are addressing most of the obstacles that people of color, women and LGBTQ people face – or so say straight white men, still the dominant group in corporate America. Their co-workers are less convinced, often by a wide margin, according to a Boston Consulting Group survey.
Among employees in under-represented demographic groups, three out of four said they hadn’t benefited from programs at their companies designed to help them, even though almost all companies had such initiatives, according to a survey that queried 16,500 people across industries earlier this year. The results are typically the same or worse within individual companies, said Matt Krentz, a managing director and senior partner at Boston Consulting Group who worked on the study.
