Since 2019, efforts to hire for the diversity, equity, and inclusion function have accelerated. According to The Conference Board-Burning Glass Help Wanted Online Index, DEI job ads increased by 227 percent between January 2015 and December 2021, with a 56 percent jump between 2020 and 2021. In addition, demand for executive-level DEI leaders between 2020 and 2021 increased by 32 percent. Sadly, those senior-level DEI positions bring with them higher levels of attrition. The average tenure for a chief diversity officer is less than two years.
