Recruiting a diverse group of candidates is essential to having a well-rounded organization where ideas, experiences and backgrounds help organizations and teams reach their productivity and sales goals.For example, research has found that every 1 percent increase in racial diversity correlates with a 9 percent increase in sales revenue. Who doesn’t want more sales and an increase to the bottom line? We all do.
Diversity, in my mind isn’t just about race, being female or a military veteran, but it can be. Diversity can also be about diversity of life, experiences and points of view that drive change, engagement and drive us to do work differently.
