MED Week Seminar: Diversity & Inclusion Strategic Plan
As workforce demographics shift and global markets emerge, workplace diversity inches closer to becoming a business necessity instead of a banner that companies wave to show their commitment to embracing differences and change. Employees reap tangible and intangible benefits from workplace benefits, not the least of which include respect from co-workers and business gains. Join us and learn the importance of implementing your own diversity and inclusion strategic plan!
Why Is Diversity in the Workplace Important to Employees?
Mutual Respect Among Employees - Workplace diversity fosters mutual respect among employees.
Economic Empowerment of Marginalized Workers - Many members of the workforce have been marginalized due to racism, ageism and discrimination against people with disabilities. This not only has an impact on individuals and their families but can also take its toll on the community at large, as talents go unused and there is less money being circulated in the local economy.
Business Reputation Enhancement - Diversity in the workplace is vital for employees because it manifests itself in building a great reputation for the company, leading to increased profitability and opportunities for workers. Business reputations flourish when companies demonstrate their commitment to diversity through aggressive outreach and recruiting efforts.
