Does hiring a demographically diverse workforce improve business results?
Of course it’s important to hire diverse talent – that connection has been well established. But it’s not enough to get the results you want. The worst thing you can do is hire talent, and then put them in a position where they can’t be successful, and you can’t get their best contributions. It’s not enough for people to just be present in the organization – they need to be included to the same extent their colleagues are.
