"We must prioritize our diversity and inclusion efforts as the elimination of inequity can no longer wait," said Charlie Gottdiener, Chief Executive Officer, Neustar, Inc. "Diversity and inclusion are difficult issues to navigate, but if we avoid constructive conversation about our differences, communication deteriorates, and productivity suffers. I'm proud that Neustar is committing to cultivating a work environment where employees can openly address challenges, present opportunities, and share perspectives." Mr. Gottdiener contined, "I am equally proud to join CEO Action and look forward to sharing strategies with fellow leaders that will evolve and enhance our respective diversity and inclusion programs. As more corporate leaders come together and commit to becoming anti-racist organizations, I am optimistic we will be able to create important and long-lasting change in our communities and the world." Organizations joining the pledge are taking a step towards effecting positive change. A diverse and inclusive workforce facilitates community, but also drives innovation and creativity. A recent study found that 85 percent of those surveyed reported that diversity is a key component to fostering innovation. CEO Action is cultivating a new type of ecosystem centered around collaboration and sharing. The actions, available via CEOAction.com, showcase real-life examples of the open and transparent conversations to cultivate more diverse and inclusive workplace environments.
