To complete the short 3-minute survey, click here. Preliminary survey results indicate that 31% of companies never meet the workforce participation goal for women and 35% never make the workforce participation goal for minorities. Lack of trained women and minorities was reported as the top reason why companies aren't meeting these workforce participation goals.
