Activism

Ryan gained recognition in 2021 for his activism toward workplace inclusion and diversity. In 2017 as a senior partner, Ryan's initial mission was to transform the diversity and inclusion policies within PwC after he was prompted by a Black employee's internal email which called out the workplace's lack of discussion about what was happening culturally in America to people of color. (This followed the fatal shootings of Philando Castillo and Alton Sterling in the summer of 2016.) After advocating internally, he founded, on behalf of PwC, the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ pledge. To date, the pledge has garnered more than 1,600 signatures from Fortune 500 companies and progressive executives. [5]

Businesses benefit by having diversity in their work force. The business case for diversity stems from the progression of the models of diversity within the workplace since the 1960s. In the United States, the original model for diversity was situated around affirmative action drawing from equal opportunity employment objectives implemented in the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Equal employment opportunity was centered around the idea that any individual academically or physically qualified for a specific job could strive for at obtaining the said job without being discriminated against based on identity. These initiatives were met with accusations that tokenism was the reason an individual was hired into a company when they differed from the dominant group. Dissatisfaction from minority groups eventually altered and/or raised the desire to achieve perfect employment opportunities in every job.
