Carroll Joins 2,000 Other CEOs in the CEO Action Pledge to Further Diversity and Inclusion

ATLANTA, UNITED STATES, April 22, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- M. Patrick Carroll, Founder and CEO of national real estate investment and management company CARROLL, announced today that he has taken the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion pledge. CARROLL joins nearly 2,000 other leading companies from around the world making this commitment.

“Being a leader of positive change in business and the community has always been a top priority for me, which is why I, alongside my peers, am pledging to take meaningful action to further diversity and inclusion throughout every aspect of our businesses. This includes taking steps to address diversity in the workplace, improving our own value-based cultures, and also helping other companies take similar steps forward,” said M. Patrick Carroll. “We, at CARROLL, have the responsibility and the opportunity to enact real change in our society that will foster growth among our team, residents of our communities, and the neighborhoods in which we serve.”

The CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion pledge is the largest CEO-driven commitment to enacting measurable action that creates meaningful change. In taking the pledge, Carroll has committed to the following:

• Making the CARROLL workplace a trusting environment in order to have complex, and sometimes difficult, conversations about diversity and inclusion.
• Implementing and expanding unconscious bias education to help employees recognize and minimize blind spots.
• Creating and sharing strategic inclusion and diversity plans with the management teams, and continuing to evolve plans ongoing.
• Creating accountability systems within the company to track progress and share updates with other pledge members to catalog effective programs and policies.

In 2020, CARROLL created its Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) Council, which is aimed at fostering and promoting an open and inspiring place to work by celebrating differences and similarities, while continuing to drive equity for all CARROLL employees. Early initiatives developed by the D&I Council include: programs for property management teams to honor and celebrate Black History Month and Women’s History Month with residents, and a charge for the CARROLL leadership team to incorporate an Unconscious Bias and Inclusive Leadership session at the company’s Q1 2021 Leadership Summit for property managers.

The CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion pledge provides CARROLL with the opportunity to share and compare its D&I Council policies with other members of the pledge to better determine the most effective programs to drive positive change. Through the program, CARROLL can create and leverage best practice toolkits, educational resources, and employee engagement activities that allow the company to make tangible, sustainable improvements.
