The Benefits



Organizations globally are taking the necessary steps to have a more integrated diversity in their workplace. A good incentive as too why organizations are making these steps is due to the multiple benefits it creates. Here is an excerpt I found from the article The Benefits of a Diverse Workforce located on Innovation Zen. It indicates 13 prominent benefits of having a diverse workforce. The article reads as followed:
