Strategy for CEOs – Diversity gains importance

Have you given some thought to adding Diversity and Inclusion training to your business development programs?

This week’s article Diversity gains importance as a strategy for CEOs, comes from Joe Galvin. Joe is the Chief Research Officer for Vistage Worldwide. In his article, he discusses the importance of Diversity and Inclusion (D & I), and how to use that as a recruiting strategy for your business.

Joe suggests looking over your strategic plans and re-evaluating your goals or objectives when it comes to diversity and inclusion. The number of CEOs who believe that talent development strategies must include D&I has risen over the past year. Diversity and Inclusion is a growth strategy that works and is critical to one’s company performance and success.

Joe provides a number of statistical graphics to help visualize the concepts of D & I. This helps get the mental juices thinking about the importance of Diversity and Inclusion initiatives; and the current emerging workforce. Gaining the competitive advantage now will help to attracted and hold onto those workers that are looking for a positive work environment.

D & I “provides a common language and platform to have sensitive discussions between leaders, employees and peers” ~Joe Gavin
