Richard Miller said:
“Ultimately, there is both a moral and business incentive to enhance the diversity of your workplace. However, achieving greater diversity is a long road and requires actions at almost every stage of the hiring and management process to do correctly. As time goes on, a more inclusive workplace and diverse workforce will be able to help manage and perpetuate itself. Of course, the more you invest in this effort the more return you will see, but it must be genuine and done with total commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion for all.”
We also have our very own Developing Diverse Teams training course that can help you understand the cultural influences as you attempt to build harmonious and productive work units.
