[QUOTE="2020Applicant, post: 74235, member: 9991"] Yes, I understand that there may be time and financial resource limitations which affect which groups firms focus on. However, I think if a firm highlights that diversity is important to them, I would want to see some evidence of the efforts that they are making for all underrepresented groups (even those that I am not specifically part of). As to me, that demonstrates a firm that is truly dedicated to creating an inclusive workplace. If we're speaking about a firm that hasn't previously made many efforts to increase diversity, I don't expect the full works straight away but I would at least like to see seeds planted that they intend to grow over time. So maybe a firm doesn't have enough time to change everything in a year but I think if a firm is truly committed to diversity, they should be able to strategise a road map or plan for the next 5 years or 10 years. Regarding my point about demonstrating efforts to increase diversity for all underrepresented groups, I am aware that some firms can't do this or will choose not to do this. As an applicant, all I can do is make a personal decision on whether the efforts they are making align with me. [/QUOTE]
