Does Diversity matter?


People are the most important asset of any company or organization. For companies to succeed in the global marketplace, they must make the most of the full range of their people. Companies must attract and retain the right skills, the best minds, all the required resources – and that means diversity.
With demographic shifts, advances in technology and communications, and globalization, diversity is quickly becoming a driver of growth around the world.
Maximizing the potential of a diverse workforce is not only a social imperative, but is also a competitive advantage. From a business vantage point, to best serve the market one must “employ the market.”
Diversity is about:
  • Acknowledging and leveraging similarities and differences
  • Increased creativity and innovation
  • Recruitment and retention of top talent
  • Access to a changed marketplace
  • Leveraging our resources to outperform our competitors,
  • Enabling people to unlock their potential so they achieve their aspirations
  • How we lead teams
