As we reflect on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, it is a great time to focus on diversity in your organization.
What Diversity Can Do
The benefits to diversity are myriad. According to Entrepreneur, these include improving your brand, operations, and innovation. For example, more diverse organizations often have lower absenteeism and turnover, which helps get things done and reduces recruiting and training costs and facilitates engagement. Promoting an organization’s diversity can also aid in recruiting and sustaining diversity. Further, fostering opinions from a variety of backgrounds and perspectives can enhance innovation and support the development of products and services that more closely meet customer needs.
