Just 2.0 Handbook

Indicator Overview

INTENT

The Just program calls for organizations to demonstrate a commitment to the creation and maintenance of a racially and ethnically diverse workplace. The goal is for organizations to have a workforce that is at least as diverse as the community in which it is located. Organizations that have a highly inclusive culture and policies are more likely to attract and retain a diverse workforce.
