THE POWER OF WORKPLACE DIVERSITY

Much more than just about race, gender, sexuality or age

Diversity in the Workplace refers to the coexistence of individuals with varying characteristics, skills, and traits. It’s crucial to pair diversity with inclusion, ensuring equal opportunities throughout the employee life-cycle. A diverse workforce brings unique perspectives, fostering creativity, innovation, and better product development.

Companies that are diverse, equitable, and inclusive are better able to respond to challenges, win top talent, and meet the needs of different customer bases. Diversity is the coexistence of people with different characteristics (e.g. race, age, gender, sexual orientation), skills and personality traits. For example, at work, we can talk about a diverse team when employees come from various cultural, academic and professional backgrounds and when there’s a balance in gender, age and race.

Nobel Prize winner Richard Thaler touches on this in an interview with McKinsey on debiasing the corporation. “There’s lots of talk about diversity these days,” says Thaler. “We tend to think about that in terms of things like racial diversity and gender diversity and ethnic diversity. Those things are all important. But it’s also important to have diversity in how people think.”

At Lovering & Partners, we have an enjoyable programme that takes leaders on a journey of discovery and realization resulting in a measurable impact that truly taps into the COGNITIVE diversity that enhances every team, every individual and every organisation.
