While there are signs of “DEI fatigue” in a variety of industries, leaders within senior living are pointing to progress that has been made and all the work that remains related to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging.
Giving in to so-called DEI fatigue would be a disservice to the “incredibly diverse” frontline staff, according to Erica Thrash-Sall, CEO of Horizon House.
“The front lines are filled with people of color, it would send an awful message,” Thrash-Sall told Senior Housing News. “There’s DEI fatigue, meaning there’s just not the financial investment to move things forward. And there are real challenges with wages and things that organizations are facing, but there is not the lack of desire for it at all.”
