Why Diversity And Inclusion Must be Top Priority For 2016?

While most leaders are measured on the basis of business results, 87% of organisations cite the combination of CULTURE, LEADERSHIP and ENGAGEMENT as one of their top challenges. Leadership drives culture which in turn drives performance.

The more complex workforce you have and the more diverse market you serve, the more you need to understand what motivates, drives and satisfies your employees and customers. This is where common sense is not enough, you need INTERCULTURAL INTELLIGENCE.

Sustainable business performance today depends on your ability to attract and engage a highly diverse workforce. Failure to do this well will impact your employment brand and your company’s innovation. It will take a strategic level of focus and systemic investments in all areas of your people practices to make this happen.

    • McKinsey’s research shows that ethnically-diverse companies are 35% more likely to outperform their peers.

    • Catalyst research shows that companies with more women on the board statistically outperform their peers over a long period of time.

    • Deloitte Australia research shows that inclusive teams outperform their peers by 80% in team-based assessments.

 

 

We have a team of leading experts specialised in people performance. The difference is that we understand the implications and potential of emotional and cultural intelligence.
