The Key to Managing a Diverse Team

A company culture that attracts and honors a diverse workforce has proven benefits in terms of employee retention and job satisfaction.

Studies show that a diverse workplace brings improved career commitment and a sense of empowerment for all individuals in an organization.

We have seen more and more companies go out of their way to show a commitment to Diversity & Inclusion practices. Bringing in diverse candidates to your team, and retaining top tier talent, means embracing a management style that promotes respect, sharing, and trust in the organization.

So, what is the number one tip to building strong and diverse teams?

Three words: Lead by example.

The importance of leadership involvement cannot be stated enough. Leading by example means enlisting diverse talent, and empowering your diverse talent to tackle major decisions and executive functions in your company.

Representation is crucial in implementing Diversity & Inclusion initiatives.

So take a “top-down” approach to diversity, ensuring that board members and C-suite executives reflect diversity as a company value.

Don’t be afraid to review and revise policies, company vision, and mission statements.

Do allocate resources to see D&I initiatives through!

Investing in diversity trainings and workshops for the HR department and upper level managers can pay off big time in retaining the diverse team members you want to bring into your organization.
