Diversity in the Workplace

Workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is becoming more important as individuals, organizations and business leaders focus on the topics of feminism, immigration, gender identity, and the gender pay gap. Studies show that cultivating a diversity-committed company culture attracts and retains top talent, improves employee productivity, increases job satisfaction, builds team camaraderie, accelerates employee career growth, and strengthens a company’s ROI.
