Take McDonald’s. The fast-food giant has positioned such initiatives high on its menu in all areas of the company by following three guideposts: diversity education, management commitment, and employee business networks. “Diversity is everybody’s business at McDonald’s and it’s important that we recognize and respect everyone on both sides of the counter,” says Patricia S. Harris, global chief diversity officer of the restaurant company that serves more than 60 million in 117 countries daily. “Diversity is not a destination that we will ever reach. It is a journey that we have decided to take. We are fortunate to have a management team that gets it and supports it.”

This philosophy is reflected in numbers and actions. McDonald’s, one of black enterprise’s Best Companies for Diversity, has long valued diversity in its workforce (women and minorities make up more than 80% of its workforce and nearly 50% of its officers are minorities; 22% are African American) and supplier inclusion (55% of the procurement spend, or $5 billion annually, is with minority- and female-owned businesses). Twice a year Harris presents programs and performance metrics to the board of directors. The company offers its employees workshops at the corporate and regional level. Its Leadership At McDonald’s Program (LAMP) identifies high-potential directors of diverse backgrounds to move them through the pipeline into future leadership positions. Moreover, ongoing dialogue takes place among leaders of regional and corporate employee business networks. Harris asserts: “These employee networks began more than 30 years ago, and at that time were more social in nature. Today, our employee business networks have business plans that support our company’s vision.”

Part of the reason McDonald’s has been the model of business diversity has been executives such as Harris driving the process. Such leadership has placed her on the inaugural roster of black enterprise’s Top Executives in Diversity. This group represents C-suiters and other senior managers at the nation’s 1,000 largest publicly traded corporations and 100 leading global corporations with strong U.S. operations who oversee and develop programs to include and advance African Americans and other ethnic minorities, women, the disabled, and the LGBT (lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender) community among the employee, senior management, corporate board, and supplier ranks. Most important, these professionals view such efforts not as initiatives to communicate good corporate citizenship but as vital to expanding market share, building revenues, and increasing the bottom line.

This stewardship becomes more important as diversity has been increasingly placed on the back burner in a post-recession environment. Just review the results of a two-year global study, Developing the 21st Century Leader, conducted last year by the consulting group AchieveGlobal. In ranking six areas critical to leadership success, business initiatives to boost profits earned a No. 1 ranking while diversity fell to the bottom of the list of priorities. Additionally, the top executives on this roster can be found in less than 150 companies from a universe of 1,100. But in the face of the study and statistics, diversity is needed as corporations must become more globally competitive and our nation becomes more ethnically diverse. In fact, the National Journal recently reported that the 2010 Census revealed that America is increasingly becoming a “majority-minority” nation. It found that the non-Latino white population declined from 69.2% in 2000 to 63.7% in 2010 while the minority population expanded from 30.9% in 2000 to 36.3% in 2010.

True diversity happens at the top—that’s why Black Enterprise focused on this select group. “We are guided by our Performance with Purpose goals, which include our commitment to invest in our associates to help them succeed and to contribute to better living standards in the communities we serve,” says Pamela Culpepper, PepsiCo’s senior vice president, global diversity and inclusion officer who works closely with Chairman and CEO Indra Nooyi on the Global Diversity and Inclusion Governance Council, which is comprised of internal and external leaders from all four continents of the beverage and snack manufacturer’s international business. Another leading diversity champion, Tara Amaral, vice president of talent acquisition and chief diversity officer for payroll and tax filing processor Automatic Data Processing Inc. (ADP) seeks to expand the employee and management pipeline, in part, through the CEO-led Executive Diversity Council, a body of the most senior executives who set overall diversity management direction at every level. Moreover, diversity and inclusion are a component of ADP’s executive performance and compensation.

Emilio Egea, Prudential Financial’s vice president of human resources and chief diversity officer, says his company approaches diversity through, in part, integrating diversity into business processes and relationship-building with diverse organizations. For example, when the company executed its IPO, Egea asked about minority participation of underwriters and worked with the top brass on a game plan to ensure that roughly 27% of the underwriters were minority-owned firms. In another instance, when there was a perception that Prudential couldn’t find black talent from HBCUs, the company sponsored a business case competition in collaboration with Hampton University’s School of Business in which students were asked to develop and recommend long-term strategies for real-life business cases within the company. “The idea is to plant the seed. Once people see the success you have, they start to run with it,” he says. “The real breakthrough comes from getting people to build authentic relationships across differences. We take people out of their comfort zones and put them in situations where they are the ones who are in the minority. That’s where the real learning comes from. My job is to expand people’s frame of reference.”

METHODOLOGY
To select our top executives in diversity, BE’s editors sought to identify the highest-ranking and most influential corporate executives in the field. We set out to identify those senior managers responsible for leading the corporate diversity initiatives in the top 1,000 largest publicly traded companies and 100 major global companies with significant American-based operations. As part of our comprehensive search, we consulted major corporations, diversity professionals, trade associations, and resources such as the Executive Leadership Council, Diversity Best Practices Reports, National Diversity Council Inc., and The Johnnetta B. Cole Global Diversity and Inclusion Institute at Bennett College for Women, among others.

Our selections met the following criteria:
• We selected chief diversity officers, global diversity executives, executive and senior vice presidents, and vice presidents who lead diversity initiatives vital to the business objectives of their company.
• We excluded all executives who have been identified as directors, managers, or assistant and associate directors and managers in this area.
• We excluded those who serve as general counsels, human resource officers, or corporate foundation executives without a diversity management designation for the entire company or major operational and/or revenue-producing unit.
• We excluded senior managers who oversee media relations, public affairs, investor relations, community development, and government affairs.
• We excluded all executives associated with nonprofit organizations and trade associations.
• All diversity appointments on this listing held their positions as of March 31, 2011.

We all know times are tough. We read daily about some industry sector—retail, financial services, health care, technology or manufacturing—experiencing reductions in force (RIF) in the thousands! These dislocations are painful for the affected employees and the colleagues left behind. Human resources is usually tasked with drawing up layoff lists, coaching managers on what to say and explaining severance terms. Corporations, in their quest to reduce headcount, approach layoffs with the precision of a surgeon’s scalpel or the blunt force of a sledge hammer.

In my role as a managing director and head of the diversity and inclusion practice for a global executive search firm, I am in contact with chief diversity officers on an ongoing basis. Diversity and inclusion (D&I) executives have expressed dismay that many of the gains made in diversity recruitment are being rolled back by business retrenchment. Many a chief diversity officer (CDO) finds themselves watching the dismantlement of succession planning models that have positioned women and minorities to step into new opportunities that no longer exist. Understanding that business necessity makes headcount reduction necessary, they either accept the layoff mandate or lose credibility. Those who decide to embrace the responsibilities associated with corporate downsizing seem to take on one of four roles:

The Grief Counselor: This executive sees his or her role as providing counseling and resources to laid-off employees. The CDO or someone on her or his staff may have personally recruited affected workers, and he or she will provide resources and introductions to ease the employees’ transition. They function as a transition hub for employees making sure that employees get resumes formatted as well as receive interview tips and job leads. They lament the loss of talent and show great empathy for affected employees. CDOs that play the Grief Counselor seldom are involved strategically with the decision on who gets laid off.

The Referee: This professional understands the need for reductions, but wants to make sure there is no adverse impact for protected classes. She or he will work with the legal department and do a statistical means test of which protected-class employees are slated to lose their jobs. If statistically there is an over-indexing of protected-class members, he or she will try to achieve greater balance. The referee sees their role as a compliance officer. If it appears the layoffs are being carried out without bias, this person will inform senior management to that effect.

The Activist: This executive took an active role in all the social movements before joining corporate America: civil liberties, gender equity, racial justice, same-sex marriage, domestic rights, nuclear disarmament, etc. Such individuals are revered for their willingness to “speak truth to power.” The Activist is often seen as the public face of the company. This is especially true of CDOs who work for consumer companies.  Activists often are the most upset at the prospect of layoffs wiping out minority gains. They will camp outside the offices of any senior executives whom they feel they can persuade to save as many jobs as possible. Typically in the face of economic pressures, this approach is not effective; however, the Activist takes great pride if he or she is able to save a few token jobs.

The Partner: The CDO in the Partner role has a seat at the table. Partners are members of the executive committee and are involved in discussions about proposed layoffs. They provide adverse-impact statistics to the group before any decisions are made. Partners look at the proposed gaps in the organization and determine which diverse executive can scale up and take on new responsibility. The reality is that whenever an organization reduces headcount, the remaining positions  often become bigger, given that the same amount of work needs to be done – but with fewer people.

A CDO in a Partner role cannot prevent layoffs, but she or he can ensure that they are fair and that the remaining minority employees are positioned for the coming upside.  In doing so, the CDO not only becomes an integral part of the change management process, but more importantly uses diversity as a tool to achieve greater organizational strength and effectiveness.

Since most would agree that having a CDO who is a strategic partner is desirable, one may logically ask why doesn’t it happen more often? It’s been my experience that there are four barriers that hinder CDOs from playing a more robust role at a company:

The revolving door of CDOs. With an average CDO tenure of less than 3 years, how can one develop true lasting partnerships?

My way or (I go down) the highway. Many CDOs have a clear but often dogmatic view as to how D&I should be implemented (which is too often based on what worked at one of their past D&I posts).  They need to be more flexible in their approach.

Business people partner with other business people. As many CDOs don’t have a deep business background, this makes it much harder for them to be seen as a business partner. They lack the commercial understanding and don’t speak the common language of the astute business professional. CDOs who don’t understand their business have a difficult challenge making the business case for diversity and inclusion.

Lack of diversity. The longer we continue placing primarily women and people of color into the CDO, role the longer we reinforce the notion that the important work of D&I is not an important function for all executives to consider. Since the utilization of human capital is essential to the success of every business doesn’t it make sense for companies to be more inclusive?

I have observed all four types of CDOs. They are not mutually exclusive roles. The best diversity and inclusion executives are a mixture of all four. To be an effective CDO one has to call for a level playing field. You have to be an ombudsman and you have to be courageous when you smell “something rotten in Denmark.”  As a search professional, I seek out clients who want a full partner in their CDO. The full-partner CDO can report to the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Human Resources Officer. More important than the reporting relationship is the substantive nature of that connection. A partner CDO has to be involved on the front end of succession planning, compensation, recruitment, and training and development.

Some may feel that their organization doesn’t have a partner CDO. The good news is this can change. Although I do believe that a savvy CDO can become a true partner, it will take a lot more than just training, coaching, and commitment to change.  We need to open up the dialogue and talk about the existing CDO reality.  It is amazing how far this function has come.  Who would have believed that so many CDO positions would ever exist? That CEOs would care where their company ranked in the various diversity polls [such as the Black Enterprise Best Companies for Diversity] or that the business press each year would trumpet best company for minorities, working women, gays, physically different etc.  That being said, what has brought us here will not get us to the next level.
