The Diversity Dividend - Equity as the Bridge to Inclusion
We explore how investment in high quality human capital development programmes for a new dynamic era of inclusion is not only essential for unlocking the diversity dividend, it benefits organizational performance.
- Giving all employees, regardless of background, the opportunity to reap maximum training and development is an important issue
- A handful of finance and insurances companies perform well on diversity and human capital development
- Some companies display high diversity scores but rank poorly on training, highlighting a superficial approach to the three pillars of diversity, equity and inclusion
In this episode of ESG360, we explore how companies in East Asia need to rethink their working patterns and expectations for all employees in order to unlock the diversity dividend. We discuss how Diversity, Equity and Inclusion need to be considered as connected components within a company’s overall strategy. To transform diversity into inclusion, companies should provide personal and professional development opportunities, which enables all employees to realize their potential.
