Organisations can see the benefits of diversity quite clearly in how the market favours dynamic and well-built products. Companies with more diverse boards outperform their competitors, yielding higher returns. Numerous studies have also shown that a more diverse workforce results in better products, team management, and overall company strength. However, these successes can only be felt when leadership creates space for diverse thinking and approaches to thrive — meaning that diversity efforts should be paired with change management practices and a company culture that promotes listening to, learning from, and respecting different kinds of voices around the table.
