Front line workers represent about 70 percent of the total US workforce and are the lifeblood of nearly all sectors of the economy from healthcare to transportation and logistics to foodservice. While their contributions are vital, the momentum around diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in recent years have largely overlooked frontline employees, who are nearly 20 percent less likely than corporate employees to believe that DEI policies are effective. People of color, who represent a huge chunk of the frontline workforce, face even greater challenges moving up the ladder than their White counterparts. In a new report, Bryan Hancock, Monne Williams, Lareina Yee and their coauthors delve into the experiences of frontline workers of color and examine the issues they face, pathways to careers advancement, and the actions companies can take to improve job quality and better support them. Be sure to check it out and download the full report.
