dott. ®, and MESH/diversity Publish DEI Maturity Report for Automotive Aftermarket
Results from top 100 companies in the sector reveal a critical opportunity for growth through Sustainability, Systemic presence, and Scalability of DEI efforts.
February 14, 2023, WASHINGTON, Conn. – dott. ®, a strategic business and consulting practice dedicated to driving inclusive cultures across the Automotive and Commercial vehicle Aftermarket, in collaboration with MESH/diversity, a leader in lasting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) solutions, today present a one-of-a-kind DEI Maturity study called “Driving Inclusion” designed to shape the future of DEI in the Automotive Aftermarket.
US companies spend $8B annually on DEI efforts. As the industry accelerates its focus on DEI, understanding the effectiveness of these initiatives has never been more crucial.
In the realm of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), the emphasis is frequently placed on demographic aspects. However, there's an issue with perceiving diversity itself as either the solution or the primary measure for evaluating DEI initiatives. The purpose of our research is to gain a deeper insight into the DEI Maturity levels of companies in the Automotive Aftermarket. We have evaluated this by looking at the Sustainability, Systemic presence, and Scalability of DEI efforts across the top 100 companies in the sector – representing roughly 500K employees. In essence, diversity can thrive as a result of a robust and healthy organizational culture, which in turn fosters an environment where individuals can excel and achieve their full potential.
Our final report not only offers a nuanced view of industry trends segmented by distribution channels but also serves as a blueprint for action. The prevailing ‘Early Stage’ status of DEI initiatives within our industry underscores the pressing need for creating thriving initiatives.
