My name is Caroline Fairchild and I’m an editor at LinkedIn News. We often reach out to LinkedIn members who we think can add informed perspectives on the day’s news and trends.

A recent report, shows that gender and race are top of mind for most leaders working in diversity, equity and inclusion. But when you look at other facets of diversity — sexual orientation, disability and age to name a few — that attention to progress drops significantly.

I want to hear from you: What aspect of identity do you feel is most often ignored in the current approach to diversity, equity and inclusion? How can corporations evolve their DE&I strategies to be more inclusive of all aspects of employee identity? And if you are a diversity leader yourself, what best practices to address this challenge have worked in your career?

Thanks and I look forward to reading your response.
