Building a diverse and inclusive workplace

January 10, 2022

“Diversity is being invited to the party. Inclusion is being asked to dance.”

– Verna Myers


Diversity and social justice are reaching new levels within social consciousness and are beginning to significantly influence business decisions. They have also become important factors in how employees and candidates evaluate the attractiveness of employers.

It is no longer fresh insight that companies that focus on fairness and take steps to embrace diversity and inclusion have a better chance of attracting and retaining top talent. And, research has shown positive business outcomes for organizations with diverse workforces, especially those with diversity within their leadership teams.

Diversity and inclusion bring quantifiable impact. Research shows that the business advantages of inclusion are:

  • 39% increase in customer satisfaction
  • 22% increase in productivity
  • 27% increase in profitability
  • 22% decrease in employee turnover

Organizations with inclusive leaders are 70% more likely ​to have captured a new market in the past 12 months.​

Our approach

For D&I interventions to be truly effective, a focus on both people and processes is needed. Only then can systemic bias and inequity be removed in all talent programs, practices, policies, and protocols. Our approach for supporting organizations with these process changes is underpinned by five core principles:

Global perspective

Thinking about cultural nuances all around the world.

Personal insight

Providing individuals with personalized information about their underlying characteristics that lead to inclusive behaviors.

Integrated approach

Taking a holistic, integrated approach to building an inclusive culture – that starts at the top.

Role modeling

Using allyship as a framework to inclusive leadership development and behavior modeling across the organization to effect change.

Accountability

Showing commitment to action by setting goals and measuring progress.
