What Would An Inclusive Rider Look Like for Corporations and Wall Street?
The talk of an “inclusive rider” originated in Hollywood and gained traction during the academy awards when Francis McDormand accepted her Academy Award. She suggested it was time to level the playing field in all aspects and levels of movie making from producers, cast, crew and directors. Now Hollywood stars are adopting contractual obligations for diversity. It essentially insists on a guarantee for diversity and inclusion. Could this movement take a leap from Hollywood to corporate American and Wall Street? What would it look like if the biggest organizations were to insist that they would invest in only private equity, venture capital or hedge funds that have hiring practices to address and close the diversity gap? Although study after study demonstrates that organizations that include women in their investment committees empirically outperform their peers, the imbalance continues to exist with white males populating the ranks. Goldman Sachs has been working on a first step toward the advancement of female investment managers. The firm is working on a $500 million initiative to fund female-let investment firms using its own capitol and that of its clients. The firm is also started a project 10,000 Women to support female entrepreneurs on a nonprofit basis. However, to make fundamental changes organizations must change how they hire and develop talent.
Finally, this idea could evolve through government policies. A bill introduced in California would prevent public pension funds based in the state from inventing in asset companies that do not comply with race and gender pay equity policy.
Maybe this is a trend that will take hold.
