Sense of Unity and Belonging
Practicing appreciation and recognition, always being supportive and respectful.
Why increase diversity?
Anything else is not fair! But except for that: Diversity improves teamwork, increases satisfaction & reduces fluctuation, creativity and innovation are enhanced and companies expand their resources, because they gather a broader range of knowledge, skills and new perspectives. Thus, it is not surprising that studies show a strong correlation that companies with a high level of cultural diversity achieve higher turnover and profits. Furthermore, companies with a healthy balance of women and men are more likely to outperform their competitors.
How to increase diversity?
Giving everyone the same not considering their differences is treating everyone equally, but it is not creating an equality in opportunities. Instead it is important to acknowledge the different circumstances of each person and allocating the exact resources needed to reach the best outcome for everyone. That means, treating everyone equitably by making diversity visible and creating structures that are as barrier-free and transparent as possible.
