For decades, researchers have argued that diverse and inclusive workforces favor business outcomes. Organizations that value diversity and inclusion (D&I) are more innovative and creative, outperform their competitors, and attract a broader range of stakeholders, all of which boost the bottom line.
According to GlassDoor, 67% of job seekers believe workplace diversity to be an important factor when assessing employment possibilities, and more than 50% of current employees want their workplace to do more to boost diversity.
As the workplace gets more global and cosmopolitan, companies that welcome diversity gain a competitive advantage. It also enables such companies to recognize and capitalize on previously untapped opportunities.
