Pillars of Frontline Leadership: DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

Ensuring that you’re hiring your team from diverse backgrounds is essential to creating an inclusive and equitable culture within your organization. When teams are diverse, individuals can bring a wide range of perspectives to the decision-making process, leading to increased innovation and creativity.

Indeed, Harvard Business Review research based on a survey conducted across 1,700 companies in eight countries found that diverse companies had a 19% higher innovation revenue. Moreover, a 2019 analysis conducted by McKinsey & Company found that companies with gender-diverse executive teams were 25% more likely to have above-average profitability.

One element of diversity that is often overlooked is disability inclusion, which Ted Kennedy Jr. (co-chair of the Disability Equality Index and board member of the American Association of People with Disabilities) has described as the “new frontier” of corporate social responsibility.

According to the recently published 2022 Disability Equality Index, 126 companies (30% of those who responded to their survey) have a senior executive who openly identifies as having a disability. Moreover, there is little surprise that companies who topped this year’s index are among some of the world’s leading businesses including Amazon, Bank of America, 3M, Google, and Starbucks.

Discover how you can make diversity and inclusion corner stones of your leadership practices in a webinar, illustrating how inclusive leadership can be catalyst to help grow your business.
