Diversity & Equity Drive Innovation
Creativity is sparked and new ideas are more likely to be heard when a company or organization embodies and embraces diversity, equity and inclusion. Equity ensures everyone has a fair chance to contribute, opening the conversation to a wider range of perspectives and world-ranging personal and professional experiences.
In fact, according to recent research, companies with greater diversity are 70% more likely to capture more markets (Forbes).
