Diversity And Inclusion: Making The Business Case
Sep 12, 2021•23 min•Ep. 129
Episode description
Lucinda focusses upon the topics of diversity and inclusion, looking at the business case you may wish to build, why it matters, how it can positively impact your business, and examining the ways in which you can get people on board in your own organisations.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
When making the case for diversity and inclusion in any organisation, a crucial factor is to ensure that we have senior management sponsorship.
Celebrating and valuing differences among us is the first step in being more inclusive, but this also brings some incredibly strong business benefits.
Companies with 30% more women executives, were far more likely to outperform companies with 0-30% of women. This principle also applies to companies with more ethnic minorities at their heart.
The five most effective ways of strengthening our diversity and inclusion are: Increasing diversity and representation
Ensuring that ownership and accountability exists at the executive level
Making sure we have a fair and transparent approach to equality
Promoting openness
Fostering belonging.
BEST MOMENTS
'Although people have things in common, we're also different in many, many ways'
'Having more diversity means that people are ore collaborative'
'We don't want tokenism!'
'Belonging is the root of engagement'
