The Inclusion Dividend Why Investing in
Diversity & Inclusion Pays Off Mason Donovan, Mark Kaplan In today's increasingly diverse, global, interconnected
business world, diversity and inclusion (D&I) is no longer just "the
right thing to do," it is a core to leadership competency and central to the
success of business. Working effectively across differences such as
gender, culture, generation, race, and sexual orientation not only leads to a
more productive, innovative corporate culture, but also to better engagement
with customers and clients. The Inclusion
Dividend provides
a framework to tap the bottom line impact that results from an inclusive
culture. Most leaders have the intent to be inclusive, but translating
that intent into a truly inclusive outcome with employees, customers, and
other stakeholders requires a focused change effort. The authors explain
that challenge and provide straightforward advice on how to achieve the kind
of meritocracy that will result in a tangible dividend and move companies
ahead of their competition. 6
