[04] THE FLIGHT RISK
FLIGHT RISK:85%HIGH RISK
[DIAGNOSIS]Often seen as non-essential overhead when financial pressures mount, making them prime targets for 'restructuring' during economic downturns, especially after initial PR benefits wane.
[05] THE BULLSHIT METRICS
Employee Engagement Scores (eNPS)
Manipulated by surveys designed to elicit positive responses related to 'inclusion' initiatives, regardless of actual sentiment or productivity.
D&I Council Participation
Measuring the number of employees who attend optional meetings, conflating attendance with genuine impact or widespread cultural change.
Representation Targets
Quotas disguised as goals, leading to superficial hiring practices focused on optics rather than genuine merit or addressing root causes of inequity.
[06] SIGNATURE WEAPONRY
Inclusion Surveys
Low-stakes data collection designed to produce ambiguous results that justify further D&I spending and new 'initiatives'.
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
Self-segregating social clubs that consume company time and resources under the guise of 'community building,' often creating internal silos.
Intersectionality Frameworks
Complex academic jargon used to categorize and stratify employees, ensuring no one feels truly unified and everyone is aware of their relative victimhood scores.
[07] SURVIVAL / ENCOUNTER GUIDE
[IF ENGAGED:]Nod empathetically, feign interest in their latest 'initiative,' and swiftly pivot back to actual revenue-generating tasks.
