Diversity Inclusion Equality: Metrics

What is happening? Harvard Business Review looked at a law firm that was trying to achieve better Diversity Inclusion and Equality. In law firms partners generally hand out work to associates and others. There was no data on how assignments were handed out & once data was collected it showed 81-88% white men thought it was all fair and everyone else was at about 50%.

Why does this matter? The law firm created a centralized system to distribute work load and created an incentive for law firm partners, allowing them to write off work through the centralized system.
