Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) At ESRT, DEI is every employee’s responsibility. We believe diverse perspectives and experiences from colleagues who have a safe and respectful work environment enhances decision-making and innovation. We continue to increase our diversity, particularly in leadership roles. We disclose U.S. EEOC diversity data at all levels, including race, ethnicity, and education, help develop our DEI roadmap, and create custom programming to accelerate our DEI journey. Our consultant also advises our employee-led Inclusion Committee.
In 2022, we required our employees to attend DEI workshops focused on unconscious bias. We taught tactical techniques and strategies employees could immediately apply to minimize biases in the workplace and be more inclusive colleagues. We also hosted executive visioning workshops on DEI topics for our executive leaders. All new employees are required to take unconscious bias training in their first 90 days with ESRT.
