The Equity at Work Mithun R+D effort examines racial equity within built environment design practice.

Improving intangible factors is difficult, gradual and requires authentically supportive action. When compared to the employee retention data, intangible cultural factors displayed stronger relationships to predicted retention than tangible cultural factors.

The Equity at Work Mithun R+D effort examines racial equity within built environment design practice. Derived from primary findings, which simultaneously illustrate alignment and discrepancy between respondent subgroups’ workplace perceptions, this spectrum of tangibility arranges cultural factors by their qualitative nature. This helps workplaces know which cultural factors are more easily impacted and which require more time, resources and care. Tangible cultural factors (shown in this image) are the 'low-hanging fruit' of workplace culture improvement. Generally, positive changes to tangible cultural factors are more easily implemented. See the next image for information about intangible factors.
