3. EMPHASIS ON DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
Having a diverse workforce helps companies with productivity and
success, and that led to diversity in hiring becoming a bigger priority
this decade, says Armer.
A recent study found
organizations in the top 25% for gender diversity outperform their
competitors by 15%, and those in the top quarter for ethnic diversity
exceed competitors’ performance by 35%.
“By keeping diversity in mind when recruiting, companies started building stronger and more inclusive workforces to
gather new perspectives and bolster creativity,” says Armer. “Diversity
and inclusion have become core focus areas for companies beyond just
hiring; organizations have built-in programs that help recognize biases
and therefore support efforts to be more inclusive in the workplace.”
