An inaugural Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Benchmark Report for the business community was released by the Dallas Regional Chamber Tuesday.
aims to provide chamber members a data-informed look at the current DEI landscape and outline actionable steps to create long-lasting change in companies, Price said. Of the 101 participating companies, three-quarters are for-profit and less than a fifth are nonprofits. About a third of the surveyed companies are professional services and 13% are from the banking and financial sector.
The Dallas region has a wide gap between the number of women in the workforce and the number of women executives who are Black, Asian or Hispanic, the report said. In Dallas County, women earned a quarter less than their male counterparts over a five-year period spanning from 2015 to 2020, according to the report. Across the state, women earn 87% of what men are paid in Texas.
A strength of the business community through a DEI lens is in its paid parental leave, according to the report. Nearly 40% of the companies offer up to 12 weeks of paid maternity leave and a majority offer paid maternity leave, paternity leave and adoptive leave at rates higher than national averages.
