Companies may soon be required to disclose data like workforce turnover, skills training, diversity information and other people-related statistics, if the SEC adds "human capital disclosure" requirements.
SEC chief Gary Gensler said that he has asked his staff to propose disclosure recommendations, which could range from "workforce turnover, skills and development training, compensation, benefits, workforce demographics including diversity, and health and safety," according to a tweet Wednesday.
The SEC recently approved a recommendation to allow the Nasdaq to require that all of its listed companies report board diversity data and ensure that at least two members of underrepresented minorities have places on most boards.
