Diversiology is now The Humanity Practice™

Where this work began.

I started Diversiology after years of leading this work with no team, no budget, and no roadmap. I hired consultants my teams couldn't afford. The deliverables looked good and nothing changed. So I built the system I needed, for practitioners doing the work with less than they deserved.

Diversiology became a community of more than 500 practitioners. The research, the conversations, and the people in it taught me what The Humanity Practice is built on: culture isn't defined by intentions or values statements. It's defined by everyday workplace practices.

Without Diversiology, there is no Humanity Practice. The name changed. The work came with me. So did you.

DEI: Crisis, Evolution, or Transformation? A Practitioner's Perspective

In 2025 we asked HR professionals, DEI leaders, ERG leaders, and consultants what the work actually looked like from the inside. Here's what they told us.

68%had considered leaving the field
20%had a budget aligned with business goals
70%were still building anyway

That last number is why The Humanity Practice exists. People were still doing the work with shrinking resources and rising resistance. They didn't need another program to defend. They needed practices their teams could run every day, measured by behavior instead of intentions. The report covers ten trends, from budgets and burnout to leadership buy-in and technology, plus the three paths organizations were choosing between.
