Employers can make a big and sustainable impact on workplace DEI just by eliminating inequitable benefit design. We know people are overbuying health insurance; we know this adversely affects health and wealth outcomes; and we know lower wage earners are disproportionately minorities and members of other disadvantaged groups. By taking an equity lens to their plan design, employers can affect real change among their employee populations.
