Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) are 2 sides of the same coin—each with its unique effect, yet they are inseparable and have to be considered together.
D&I involves actions beyond policies, programs, or headcounts. Diversity pertains to representation of races, ethnicities, and other minority groups in an entity or in other words the make-up of an organization. Inclusion represents the degree of value given to inputs, existence, and viewpoints of various groups of people and the extent of their integration in a setting.
Inclusion of diverse opinions appears to have a positive impact on the bottom line, as shown by data coming out of a long-term study conducted by a global consulting firm. Of the organizations that were followed in the study, 1/3rd turned out to be leaders in Diversity. These businesses have attained genuine improvements in top-level Diversity.
The remaining 2/3rd in the pack—i.e. the laggards—have mostly made minute or no improvement at all. Some have even gone backwards in gender and ethnic representation. In this presentation, we compare the performances of these D&I leaders vs. D&I laggards.
This presentation framework on Diversity & Inclusion identifies the following 5 categories into which businesses can be divided in terms of Gender / Ethnic Diversity and Inclusion within their executive teams:
1. Diversity Leaders
2. Fast Movers
3. Laggards
4. Moderate Movers
5. Resting on Laurels
Studied companies have been sorted based on degree of progress made in Diversity and Ethnic representation. We dive into each of these categories in detail.
This PowerPoint presentation on the Leaders vs. Laggards of D&I also includes data on the composition of the various categories, their progress since the study started. It also includes several slide templates depicting the 5 categories of D&I companies.
The presentation also highlights the significant financial benefits of embracing D&I, with data showing a direct correlation between diverse executive teams and increased profitability. Companies that lag in D&I efforts risk falling behind their competitors, both in innovation and financial performance.
