Big on egos and low on diversity - Anonymous employee Edelman Employee Review

Thank you for sharing your perspective. I'm glad to see you've felt our COVID-19 response and resources areas strong and that you think well of our ERG offerings. I don't agree with your assessment of our diversity strategies but agree we should do more, and we will, including ongoing cultural competency training that covers implicit bias and racial sensitivities. We do actually have a formal mentorship program to all levels but it sounds like that's news to you, so we need to market it better. Since your post and in the wake of George Floyd's murder, we've committed to even more robust focus on combatting racial inequities and ensuring our leaders are held accountable to that expectation. I'm glad to see these additional commitments and hope you'll feel the same. Take care. Maria O'Keeffe, US Chief Talent Officer
