That's 100% the noble intent of those policies. The issue isn't intent but rather how it gets put into practice. In most companies what gets measured is typically what gets managed.
How typically do companies measure that their DEI policies are working? Most of the time it's some derivative of 'x% of workforce, leadership, directors that are female, visable minorities, etc. The extent to which the noble goal is achieved in practice is only a byproduct of the practice of meeting the KPIs.
