โ€‹Phaidon International's Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Report Examines the Perceptions of DE&I in the Supply Chain Industry.

As an award-winning supply chain talent partner under the Phaidon International brand, clients often ask us how to improve Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) in their workplace so they can attract, hire, and retain top talent with diverse experiences and viewpoints.โ€ฏ 

To provide data-backed insights, we have surveyed both employees and employers from our database to understand their perspectives on company culture, discrimination, development opportunities, and DE&I training and resources at their workplace to uncover trends, disparities, and areas in need of improvement. 

The results can be found in Phaidon International's DE&I report, which explores overall trends across their six specialist brands, plus a breakdown of results for DSJ Global, delving into DE&I in the supply chain industry.

Findings from these surveys include:

41%

of supply chain employees said they were aware of discrimination, harassment, or bias at their current workplace (frequently or occasionally), while only 24% of employers said they were aware. In addition, only

37%

of supply chain employees strongly agreed that the organisation they work for promotes a culture of inclusivity and respect for DE&I.

Discover the full views of both employers and employees in the supply chain industry and uncover new areas of focus for your DE&I strategy, helping you to improve hiring, retention, and DE&I policies based on your goals, resources, and the needs of your employees. Along with our survey findings, this exclusive report also includes: 

  • How good DE&I workplace practices benefit both employers and employees 

  • The biggest DE&I challenges employers face

  • Key takeaways for employers and employees

  • DE&I resources for your region 

Ross Williams, Director at DSJ Global USA, explains how the industryโ€™s take on DE&I has evolved in recent years:

โ€œHistorically the supply chain industry has been very male dominated, so maybe four or five years ago when DE&I was front and center in the news, many companies we worked with took a strong position on it, carrying out surveys and analysis or hiring management consultants. But now with talent shortages worsening, from my experience we are moving back into a more meritocratic society where clients just want the best person for the job based on merit, regardless of their background.โ€
