Here are the top benefits of diversity and inclusion in the workplace:
- Better hiring: Diversity helps promote your brand and presents your company as a desirable place to work. This allows you to attract the top talent from a wide range of pools.
- Differing perspectives: A diverse workforce means a diverse array of perspectives. This is vital to developing (and executing) business strategies.
- Increased creativity: Those with a diverse workforce often describe working in such an environment as a ‘melting pot of fresh ideas’, due to the variety of views staff provide.
- Reduced employee turnover: As previously mentioned, retention improves when you value and accept employees. The happier they are, the longer they are likely to stay with the company.
- Varied problem-solving skills: A diverse team offers different perspectives from various cultures, bringing creative ideas to day-to-day activities.
Improved employee engagement: Research, this time by Deloitte, shows that inclusion leads to employees engaging more with their roles.
