The business case for diversity:
✓ Better choice of skilled workers
✓ Better platform for innovation and creativity
✓ Better workforce productivity
✓ Better customer experience
✓ Better financial performance
Organisations that lead the way on gender diversity so often also lead on performance and even profitability. Those that ignore diversity risk losing out to the competition. This is not, of course, simple cause and effect. But the correlation between improved diversity and business results is striking.
Companies within the STEM sector are increasingly recognising the strength of the business case for diversity. It’s why more and more of them are working with WISE to maximise women’s contribution at all levels.
Join us and find out how a better gender balance can boost your organisation’s productivity and performance.
Better choice of skilled workers
The most pressing reason for employing more women as scientists, engineers and technologists is that – at a time of continuing skills shortages – companies cannot afford to do otherwise.
Better platform for innovation and creativity
Mixed teams bring wider experience, different ways of thinking and fresh approaches to problem solving – all necessary to meet the new challenges in many industries.
Better workforce productivity
Improving gender diversity and establishing a more inclusive culture within an organisation mean better employee engagement, with the potential to improve productivity and transform the business.
Better customer experience
In many industries, improved diversity can result in better products, better marketing and a better customer experience.
Better financial performance
The evidence that recruiting, retaining and promoting more women feeds through into hard results is hard to ignore.
