Key Insights & Recommendations This summary report includes insight analysis, summarises key observations, and presents strategic recommendations for improving future diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) related global benchmarking work within the EIC’s Equity Task Force and Equity Accelerator Plan. The analysis and content found in this report follows the initial data facilitated by Culturelytics, and consultation services by Tharoor Associates. Based on the summary review, the report recognises the following takeaways:
Global data points confirm a varying degree of sentiment based on inconsistent participation, understanding, and satisfaction of DEI across ethnicities, regions, organisations, and employment types. • Observing participation by ethnicity in real non-weighted terms, only 232 of the total 1408 respondents (16%) of the total sample size reflect opinions of people of colour. • Observing participation by sexual orientation in real, non-weighted terms, only 95 of the total 1408 respondents (6.7%) of the total sample size reflect opinions of sexually-diverse individuals. • North America, at 86% of the total sample for the study, reports the highest ‘understanding’ of DEI, followed by Europe (5.5% of sample) and Eastern and South-Eastern Asia (3.75% of sample). • Employed event professionals (83% of sample) are significantly more dissatisfied with DEI in the industry than those who are self-employed or have alternative employment types. • Over 75% of the surveyed population identifies as female and women, are also well represented in managerial and senior roles. Nevertheless, there is a high level of dissatisfaction from this demographic when compared to their male counterparts on all 4 dimensions of the DEI framework.
