A Work Culture that Works: The Diversity Advantage
• Creating an inspiring, engaging, and productive workplace is a crucial problem for organizations worldwide – and a strategic goal. 2
• After all, employee experience is the foundation for product innovation, customer experience, and ultimately, customer satisfaction. 3
• While efforts to increase engagement through seminars, events, etc., are ongoing, one aspect deserves special attention: diversity and inclusion. 4
What’s The Difference?
• Diversity in this context refers to the backgrounds of the people who work for you, whereas inclusion refers to their ability to meaningfully contribute to your organization. 6
• The millennial generation is more diverse than any generation before, and when it comes to work opportunities, they prioritize places that prioritize them. 7
What’s The Advantage?
• Having a diverse workspace isn’t just good for your employees and work culture – it also boosts your revenue! 9
• Employees who feel like they truly belong will be more loyal to your company – thereby ensuring that you retain top talent. 10
11 • Inclusivity means employees will be able to share ideas and voice opinions, thereby fueling innovation and creativity! • The outcome? Cutting-edge products and services, and marketing that resonates across segments.
• Benefits: • Diverse teams have 19% higher revenue. • Diverse teams outperformed decisions made by individuals 87% of the time. 12
What Can You Do?
www.SoGoSurvey.com 14 • In order to spearhead change, you need to first become aware of where your organization stands. Send out anonymous surveys to assess their sentiments. Ask Your Employees
www.SoGoSurvey.com 15 • Diversity training events and seminars help make everyone aware of cultural differences and nuances to improve communication between employees. • Follow up with a feedback survey to understand its effectiveness and learn what needs changing (or where additional emphasis may be needed). Organize Training Programs
www.SoGoSurvey.com 16 • The unwritten rules you make and the behavior of your organizational leaders create the guidelines your employees will follow. • Set the tone by acknowledging festivals from all cultures and respecting cultural holidays. Celebrating Diversity
• This is a great way to promote awareness, create a stronger bond among teams, and build an organization where diversity is not only welcomed, but celebrated! 17
www.SoGoSurvey.com 18 • The biggest advantageof employee diversity is learning about and understanding various cultures and backgrounds, thus bringing a new perspective. Mix the Teams
• By mixing teams – or at least involving employees from different backgrounds to lend their perspective – you can inspire creativity in thought and innovation. 19
www.SoGoSurvey.com 20 • You have a diverse workforce, and you’re encouraging inclusion across teams. But do your employees feel the same way? Is there a disconnect between your efforts and the outcome? Enable Easy Feedback
• Make it easy for people to let you know about problems without fear of backlash. • And most importantly, if something comes to light, always remember to follow up — show employees that their voice matters. 21
www.SoGoSurvey.com 22 • Visualize the path ahead while also making it easier to celebrate important milestones. Assess Progress
• Send out key metric surveys, measure the difference in employee engagement over time, and plot your growth to evaluate the effectiveness of different strategies. 23
Final Thoughts
• An organization that values the diversity of its employees' voices and listens to varying perspectives can identify new market segments (and effectively market to them). 25
• A culture that uplifts everyone will boost innovation and completely transform the atmosphere as employees work together with the bigger picture in mind. 26
• So, find out how your employees feel about your current diversity and inclusiveness efforts with surveys that reveal their sentiments. 27
