More than a handful of sources have shown that organizations with diverse workforces perform better financially over time than less diverse organizations. One of the latest reports on diversity outcomes is from research analysts at The Wall Street Journal, who found that S&P 500 companies with diverse workforces performed better financially during a five- to 10-year period than firms with less diverse staff. In fact, the research results showed that diverse companies had an average operating profit margin of 12%, compared to the 8% profit margins of less diverse companies.
