Yes, the businesses are always chasing the bottom line - every management transformation since the mid-eighties have been budget focused. Each new crop of managers has that measurable objective. Note that true wellbeing initiatives are subjective in nature - they are very hard to measure, so the management theory tends to find things that can make graphs on software (linegoupitis - as you so eloquently put it.)
The main idea, however, is if you can count it, then make it a goal. So, counting race is a great way to 'balance' the workforce as an extension of this disease. The 'woke' ESGs are just a way to justify having more color in the workforce, ok we are not racist, but we still do race-based headcounts, that IMO hides the illegals nicely.
The advantage of taking on illegals is you can pay them anything you want (eyes light up - budget cuts). They will take any scraps of pay, don't need holiday pay no workee - no money. Furthermore, the poor souls are outside the system, so one doesn't have to pay tax or social security or health and safety payments to the government - and all that jazz. Furthermore, a lack of a need to comply, causes a blind spot for safety equipment or functioning machinery, that is required by law. (More handy budget cuts for the sheistery shiny new managers!). Do this at scale, as a corporate policy, taking into account any fines that will come up when they are busted. The fines are less than the taxes and holiday/sick leave payments.
And here we are again at the door of the dark satanic mills that started management literature that actually recognized working conditions. Remember that early labor unions actually wanted better safety practices and a living wage that could support mama and babies (future workers) before the unions became labeled as commie hot-beds or ruled by the mob. But labor unions would be outraged by the treatment of the illegals, and they would stop it. Why do you think their teeth were pulled during the nineties?
There is a balance in here somewhere.
