Report | White collar workers converse differently because of DEI programmes

According to new research, workplace DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) initiatives and programmes have led to a shift in white collar workers communicating differently with one another.

Researchers found that since the mid-90s, people with ‘middle-class’ jobs were more likely to have adopted ‘resonance’ in the way they speak, imitating the language of their peers into their own speech.
