Dear DEI and HR Leaders,

‍

Today, you may be feeling a range of emotions—relief, hope, exhaustion, or even uncertainty about what the future holds for DEI work. We know that major shifts are likely on the horizon, and the effects will ripple through our workplaces. The questions many leaders are asking are: What happens to DEI in the next four years? How will it shape our organizations? How do we turn today’s momentum into tomorrow’s measurable progress?

‍

Now more than ever, this work demands purpose and strategic focus to make a lasting impact that resonates with executive leadership. The challenges before us present a unique opportunity to deepen our commitment, demonstrate our impact through concrete data, and pave the way toward a future where inclusion efforts are so integral that every organization prioritizes them as core to its mission. 

‍

Let’s take a moment to regroup. Today, pause and gather your thoughts. Tomorrow, let’s activate and move forward—because there is critical work ahead, and it’s time to forge a path forward with clarity and intention.

‍

Aerodei has engaged with senior leaders and board members across industries, gaining insight into what they want to see from DEI moving forward. The message is clear: they want measurable results—and they’re looking to see DEI make a tangible business impact. They’re measuring success through key indicators: customer acquisition, RFP wins, reduced turnover, and increased employee engagement. This kind of transformation, however, requires more than what traditional HR systems can provide.

‍

If you continue to only lean on your HR system that is not interactive and engaging for employees, if the work is not operationalized, and if your data focuses on ERG member participation, well, you will see your role disappear. I say this boldly because my team and I have spoken with many C-suite leaders that have been honest about this.

‍

Standard HR tools simply weren’t designed to capture the nuanced impact of DEI on both people and business outcomes. This is where Aerodei comes in. Our platform goes beyond tracking basic HR metrics; it’s purpose-built to measure inclusive impact on organizational success and align actions with business goals. Aerodei integrates seamlessly with your HR system, delivering the playbook you need to drive inclusion on a global scale, while delivering the metrics that matter to executives.

‍

Now is the time to move from theory to tangible action. With Aerodei, you have a partner that provides the data and insights to keep inclusion efforts thriving, even amid changing times.

‍

Tomorrow, let’s take the next steps forward together, using tools that empower us to build, sustain, and measure the inclusive progress that’s essential for our workplaces.
