Research by Gartner (link in the 1st comment) shows that 51% of DEI leaders say their top challenge is business leaders failing to take ownership for driving DEI outcomes. One of Gartner’s key recommendations for organizations is to foster consequential accountability. 

Gartner defines consequential accountability as a framework within HR practices that ties the success or failure of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives directly to the job performance evaluations of leaders within an organization. 

This approach ensures that senior leaders make meaningful progress against their DEI goals, which is essential for their career progression within the organization. 

The concept aims to motivate leaders to prioritize and effectively integrate DEI objectives into their regular business operations and decision-making processes.
