The Recruiting Power of Diversity

Strategic Advantages For Our Clients

Diversity can mean different things based on the culture of your organization and even your geographic location. However, a diverse, well-balanced team from the front line through back-office staff and leadership is the best way to serve a diverse population. For our government clients, diversity isn’t just a nice idea or a heartwarming initiative. It has very tangible business value.

Here at our women-owned business, our diversity recruiters know that fostering greater diversity within your organization leads to results like:

  • Improved Revenue: Research by McKinsey shows that for every 1% increase in an organization’s diversity, the organization can predict a 3 to 9% increase in revenue.
  • Better Innovation: Organizations with diverse workforces tend to be more innovative, thanks to the broad range of perspectives and problem-solving approaches that come with a diverse staff.
  • Decreased Turnover: Employees prefer companies with diverse workforces because it shows you’re open and accepting to all.
  • More Productivity: Performance tends to increase dramatically when a workplace is more inclusive, because they know their unique needs are being met by the organization that employs them.
  • Better Decision Making: Research from Harvard Business Review found differences in perspectives and information processing styles lead to better problem-solving and decision-making.
