When leadership teams talk diversity but don't act

My leadership team has been talking about promoting diversity for two years but when it comes to actual hiring and promotion decisions we keep finding reasons why the diverse candidates aren't quite right and I've started to feel complicit in this pattern. Everyone nods along in the DEI meetings but our numbers haven't changed.

What we've seen

Your leadership talks up diversity but always finds reasons not to hire diverse people, and you feel part of it.
