Upholding diversity and inclusion in the corporate world can determine a company’s long-term success. After all, a diverse roster of employees means a business can explore multiple solutions to any given problem from numerous perspectives. But what else can having a diversified workplace do for a company? What are the key benefits to committing to diversity and inclusion business owners should know?
In this episode, we discuss diversity and inclusion and how it relates to supplier diversity. We describe the key differences between the two terms and explain how a diverse work culture can improve a company’s image for both investors and would-be applicants—especially in today’s social-media-centric world. We share our thoughts on why diversity is not progressing fast enough and how the corporate industry can improve the pace further. We also discuss why it’s much more challenging to implement diversity and inclusion policies in regulated industries and why it is at its peak in mid-markets.
