What is the Real Impact of Diverse Teams in a Businesses?

• Diverse Workforces Drive Innovation: Studies consistently show that diverse teams are more innovative and creative. Different perspectives lead to new ideas, ultimately improving products and services. research by Josh Bersin showed that companies that ranked as more inclusive were 1.7 times more likely to be innovation leaders in their market, and 1.8 times more likely to be change-ready.

• Enhanced Problem Solving: Diverse teams approach problem-solving from various angles. This diversity of thought results in more effective and robust solutions to complex challenges.

• Higher Profitability: McKinsey’s D&I Report found that companies with ethnically and culturally diverse boards are 43% more likely to experience higher profits.

• Better Employee Engagement: 83% of Millennials are actively engaged in their work when their companies foster a more inclusive work environment, according to Deloitte research. Gen Z and millennials currently make up approximately 38% of the global workforce and this percentage will rise to about 58% by 2030

• Better Decision Making: A white paper by Cloverpop has found that inclusive teams actually make better business decisions up to 87% of the time, and they make those decisions twice as fast within half as many meetings. Decisions made and executed by diverse teams also delivered 60% better results, maximising business performance substantially.

• Attracting Top Talent: According to a survey from Glassdoor, 76% of respondents say that a diverse workforce is an important factor when evaluating companies and job offers, and nearly a third would not apply to a job at a company where diversity is lacking

• Success in New Markets: In a study by the Harvard Business Review, employees at diverse companies were 45% more likely to report that their firm’s market share grew over the previous year and 70% more likely to report that the firm captured a new market.
