Diversity and Inclusion: Deploying Technology in Driving Organizational Performance (Published)
This study examined diversity and inclusion technology on organizational performance in the USA. The primary objective was to find out the level of D&I tech tools used in US organisations and the relationship between the use of D&I technology and the organisation’s performance. The survey design was adopted and purpose sampling was used to sample 550 respondents across public and private organisations in America. Descriptive analysis was performed on the data using Excel and SPSS. The findings suggest a connection between organizational performance and the perceived contribution of technology to D&I initiatives. The high agreement percentages in the organizational performance survey suggest that respondents who reflect technology can help D&I outcomes also tend to be more confident in the organization’s capacity to achieve its goals.
