Claims made by global consulting firm McKinsey that diversity, equity and inclusion policies (DEI) increase a company’s profitability don’t hold water, according to a Monday report from Econ Journal Watch (EJW).
McKinsey published several studies in 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2023 — often titled along the lines of “Diversity Matters,” or “Diversity Wins” — claiming that there is a statistically significant positive relationship between a company’s financial performance and the percentage of racial and ethnic diversity among its executives, according to EJW. EJW could not produce such findings when conducting its own version of such a study, calling into question the quality of McKinsey’s methods

Little Petey Bootygig worked for McKinsey. That tells you everything you need to know.

Consulting firms indeed. Wish we could post pictures; there's a great one of 2 hands shaking, title in caps - CONSULTING, with the caption to the effect of, "If there's a problem, there's money to be made prolonging it."

Who would have thunk that experience and merit equals success and not DEI ideologies?

The only thing that boosts a company is hiring the very best, most competent employees......REGARDLESS of sex, race, etc.
When sex and race become far more important to employee selection, competence and skills fall by the wayside and the company WILL SUFFER.
Most of us have worked with some people who were clearly hired and promoted for their skin color or sex, and other employees had to work to cover for their incompetence. This is something that people have SEEN FOR THEMSELVES in action.
Not impressed with this "McKinney" and their fraud and lies.

DEI as a profitability boost is the civilian analogy to the military's "Diversity is a force multiplier".

DEI, et al are all make-work projects to keep the 'studies' graduates occupied. It is of little practical value outside of protected safe spaces (which is why they had to have their loans forgiven), so must be forced.

DEI is a jobs program for people with worthless degrees in "__________ Studies".

Trust me, diversity makes the entire workplace worse. I've worked with and for diversity hires, and spent a measurable percentage of my time cleaning up the messes they made - double-checking their work, correcting their mistakes, explaining why promises they made couldn't be kept, correcting made-up "facts" tossed out in high visibility meetings, consoling the employees they perceived as a threat and therefore screwed over, answering questions from higher ups that didn't trust the diversity managers they were forced to hire. It was an endless cycle until I was able to network myself into working for a competent white male with whom I could have intelligent conversations.

Who did the study for McKinsey? A DEI hire trying to justify their being hired by McKinsey!

That is the same liberal clap trap they shared when a church I belonged to long ago was moving towards being Open and Affirming to non-heterosexuals. It was said that your collections would increase. Well, the conservatives left and the progressives remained. Then you find out who donates and who does not. The church has struggled to survive ever since.

I can confirm from experience at the company I work at that DEI is a disaster for business.
