According to theATD Talent Development Capability Model(2024), underCultural Awareness and Inclusion(part of Building Personal Capability), success is defined by embedding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts into business practices. Specifically, "effective DEI practices must be executive-sponsored, measurable, budgeted, and tied to business outcomes, not just compliance or check-the-box activities".
A mentoring program sponsored at the executive level with a dedicated budget directly reflects systemic support, leadership engagement, and a sustainable inclusion effort.
