This resource examines why leaders of color leave organizations at higher rates and what companies can do to retain them. It highlights challenges faced by Black, Hispanic/Latine, and Asian professionals—as well as women with intersecting identities—including bias, lack of sponsorship, and exclusion. The guide offers four actionable strategies:
(1) build cultures of inclusion and belonging,
(2) create formal sponsorship opportunities,
(3) review remote, hybrid, and in-office policies for unintended impacts, and
(4) use employee feedback tools like Seramount’s Access360 to pinpoint and address retention risks.
Use this playbook to strengthen leadership diversity, improve equity, and reduce costly turnover.
