Creating a diverse and inclusive workforce is a business imperative for global employers. A diverse and inclusive workforce enables a wider talent pool, helping to plug skills gaps, drive innovation, enhance profitability and improve competitiveness. We are seeing a continued push by employees calling for greater transparency and action from businesses to eliminate inequality. Likewise, investors are becoming more focused on the issue and intensifying media attention is continuing to advance the global conversation around diversity and inclusion.
"51% of diversity leaders identify recruiting diverse talent as a priority. However, recruitment initiatives alone are not enough to balance the workforce population. 45% of organizations are also prioritizing retention of underrepresented groups, which emphasizes the importance of culture — employers need to ensure the working environment enables diverse talent to thrive and progress."
