The impact of diversity, equity and inclusion on your security career
A security leader’s decisions and actions when it comes to diversity, equity and inclusion practices can send a powerful message to the organization and the security industry, and impact reputation and personal brand.
The corporate security profession has historically lacked diversity within its professional and executive levels. Fortunately, the issue is beginning to be more assertively addressed through a variety of initiatives.
There are significant advantages to diversification within the profession. Security managers who prioritize diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in their hiring practices take a positive step forward in bringing their team into better alignment with their company. It also offers the benefit of better results within accountabilities.
