A Disturbance in the Force!

I sense a great disturbance in the Force. The Emperor's influence like the dark side is strong in corporate America. These so called 'big businesses' are wavering their commitment to Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) as weak as the Rebel Alliance's chances against the Death Star. Under the regime of Trump these companies tremble scaling back their DEI investments like frightened Padawans.

Small Business Owners: A New Hope?

But fear not for there is still hope! A smaller more agile force is rising. Small business owners like brave Rebel pilots are embracing DEI seeing its true power. According to a recent CNBC|SurveyMonkey survey these entrepreneurs aren't just maintaining DEI commitments; they're witnessing tangible benefits. Perhaps these businesses understand the words of Yoda 'Try not. Do or do not. There is no try.'

The Emperor Strikes Back (Against DEI)

The Emperor in his infinite shortsightedness attempts to roll back DEI policies. Yet these small businesses unshaken by the Dark Side persevere. Over half of them report implementing some form of DEI in their workplaces. Inclusive workplace policies like anti discrimination and anti harassment measures are becoming their weapon against the Empire's prejudice.

Political Affiliations: The Choice is Clear

It is no surprise that political allegiance sways one's path. Democratic small business owners are like the Jedi embracing DEI with open arms. Republicans however are like the misguided Sith clinging to old flawed ways. But let them remember 'You can't stop change any more than you can stop the suns from setting.'

DEI: The Force Multiplier

For those who have embraced DEI the Force is strong. A vast majority report that DEI initiatives have positively impacted their business success. Improved workplace culture enhanced recruitment and happier employees are the rewards. These small businesses are proving that inclusivity is not just a moral imperative but a strategic advantage. Their competition trembles before their might for they understand the power of working together!

The Next Generation: DEI is Their Destiny

Younger business owners see DEI not just as a cultural benefit but as a strategic decision. They understand that DEI is the future the way to build a better stronger galaxy. The old ways are fading replaced by a new era of inclusivity and understanding. Soon the rebellion will be complete and these small businesses will rule the Galaxy! Perhaps soon the Emperor will realize 'It is your destiny!'
