Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion:
A Strategy for Success
Have you ever wondered:
-
Why do we have diversity in organizations?
-
What are the advantages created when the workforce is more diverse?
-
Are there disadvantages to a diverse workgroup?
-
How do we mitigate disadvantages?
Let us help you answer these questions on your way to establishing a divergent-thinking, results-focused organizational culture.
Gartner Consulting provides research to stimulate diversity thinking...
To ensure D&I initiatives are successful, organizations must make sure they are sustainable, which means the strategy is supported by the entire organization, is measurable over time, and is embedded into existing processes. Organizations that are able to enact sustainable D&I strategies can achieve a 20% increase in organizational inclusion. This corresponds to a 6.2% increase in on-the-job effort, a 5% increase in employees’ intent to stay with the organization, and a nearly 3% increase in individual employee performance.
