ABSTRACT
This chapter describes how covenantal pluralism is advanced by the goals and operations of corporate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), particularly faith-oriented business programs. Many companies are beginning to understand the need for and benefits of expanding DEI with more faith-friendly initiatives. We first describe five main ways that faith-oriented DEI and covenantal pluralism are connected. We then present and unpack nine coaching points for companies interested in constructively opening the door to religious expression and embracing covenantal pluralism. We then offer evidence of how putting these principles into practice within a company benefits overall DEI across all categories of identity; and describe some of the best practices we’ve discovered in this area. We conclude by providing the first-ever tool for corporations to benchmark their efforts toward more religiously diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplaces.
