The Power Of A Diverse & Inclusive Workforce
Diverse and inclusive cultures are providing companies with a competitive edge over their peers. Many studies have disclosed the benefits of a diverse workforce in companies, from attracting and retaining talent to improving financial performance. But research suggests many leaders are aware they are not doing enough.
A recent survey of Corporate Directors by PwC revealed that diversity and inclusion represents a business opportunity. Only 16% believed their companies scored ‘excellent’ for recruiting a diverse workforce, whilst 15% thought they were excellent in developing diverse executive talent. A staggering 83% believed that companies should be doing more to promote gender and racial diversity.
These studies show that diversity is not just a metric, but an integral part of a successful revenue-generating business. The infographic below reveals five benefits of building a diverse workforce.
