 Forward thinking organizations recognize the benefits of attracting and retaining a diverse workforce—embracing the unique talents, perspective, and ideas of all employees. Stopping here is problematic. Inclusion is the application of the diverse strengths of each teammate through intentionally constructive communication. It is just as important to protect your successful business from overarching risk. Failing to do so will put your organization's financial strength and reputation at risk. Conversely, embracing strategic inclusion will demonstrate measurable gains that are sustainable touching all levels or your organization.
