Diversity should be understood as the varied perspectives and approaches to work that member of different identity groups bring within an organization. Unique, important, and competitively relevant knowledge and perspectives to a task—how to design processes, reach goals, frame tasks, create effective teams, communicate ideas, and leads.
Importance of Diversity?
Diversity has the potential to eliminate the inter and intracontinental borders, hence broadening the scope of accessibility for a larger talent pool untapped by the majority of organizations. Women, ethnic groups, LGBTQ+, disabled are few amongst many underrepresented sections of our society that have immense potential which has not yet been fully explored.
According to a report by the Harvard Business Review, companies with greater than 30% female executives were more likely to outperform those with 10%–30% women executives. A similar condition in case of the varied ethnic groups, where companies in the top 25% for ethnic and cultural diversity were found to be 36% more profitable than those in the bottom 25%.
