Retaining Diverse Teams
Leaders must be equipped with the awareness, competencies, and resources to ensure that challenges are turned into a workplace environment where differences are valued. The result is effectively functioning teams that produce quality results.
Overview
As society becomes increasingly diverse, our teams are inevitably beginning to reflect this diversity. This diversity is demonstrated by the various races, cultures, ages, genders, languages, and other factors that now comprise today’s workplace. Hiring people with diverse experiences and at varying career stages can help businesses foster creativity and offer a range of perspectives and ideas. Several studies suggest that workplace diversity contributes to creativity, productivity, and innovation. In short, diversity is a sound business concept for any organization. However, such diversity can present challenges and opportunities.
