How can focusing on inclusion and diversity in your workplace, positively affect YOUR organization?
According to global management consulting firm, McKinsey & Company, “In addition to profitability, there are five key domains in which inclusion and diversity can significantly affect an organization’s overall performance:
- Winning talent: Organizations that monitor the demographic profile of their workforces are better able to retain top performers while making sure that diverse talent isn’t lost.
- Improving the quality of decision making: Diversity brings multiple perspectives to the table during times when enhanced problem-solving skills and vision are needed.
- Increasing customer insight and innovation: Diverse teams are typically more innovative and better at anticipating shifts.
- Driving employee motivation and satisfaction: Research in Latin America showed that companies that are committed to diversity are 75 percent more likely to report a pro-teamwork culture.
- Improving a company’s global image and license to operate: Companies that can maintain or increase their focus on inclusion and diversity during crises are poised to avoid consequences such as struggling to attract talent or losing customers and government support.” https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/mckinsey-explainers/what-is-diversity-equity-and-inclusion
