"SUNLIGHT REALLY IS THE BEST DISINFECTANT": HOW EMPLOYEE DEMOGRAPHIC DISCLOSURE MOTIVATES COMPANIES TO IMPROVE DIVERSITY EFFORTS.

Palumbo, Carmen M.
- Abstract
Diversity is severely lacking in government contracting, specifically in leadership positions. Shareholders and the public should have access to the information needed to require accountability and demand change in order to pave a better path forward. With billions of taxpayer dollars spent on government contracts every year, government contractors need to be held to a higher standard and act as pioneers in effecting change towards greater diversity initiatives. Disclosure of the demographic makeup of government contracting companies is an essential first step in allowing the contractors to enact change from within while ensuring public confidence in the company. This Note explores the ways that the government is currently treating demographic disclosure and suggests a path forward to mandate disclosure through EEO-1 reports. The government collects EEO-1 reports, but they are kept confidential.
