Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion 2022
The concept of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) is more than just programs, policies, or headcounts. It is a fundamental that enables employers to celebrate the differences and respect the uniqueness of their workforce.
Embedding DE&I in the workplace or nurturing a high-performing organizational culture that embraces DE&I paves the way for diverse perspectives and multiple other benefits. Robust DE&I strategies are the secret sauce to boost the bottom line, increase innovation, improve employee experience, reduce employee turnover, and have a competitive advantage.
Here are some eye-opening statistics that emphasize the significance of DE&I in the workplace:
- Diverse and inclusive teams make better decisions 87% of the time (Korn Ferry, 2022)
