About international culture and diversity in the workplace — Who do we work with at GetLinks.
Today, technology isn’t the only force reshaping and restructuring the world of work, nor is all of that change being directed from the top down. Rather, bottom-up pressure — that is, changing expectations, particularly among millennial and Gen Z employees and candidates — is playing a big role as well.
For one, younger workers simply expect that diversity and inclusion will be baked into workplace culture.
Recent studies from McKinsey show that more diverse companies are financially better-performing companies. Here are some numbers:
• Companies in the bottom quartile both for gender and for ethnicity and race are statistically less likely to achieve above-average financial returns than the average companies in the data set (that is, bottom-quartile companies are lagging rather than merely not leading).
• In the United States, there is a linear relationship between racial and ethnic diversity and better financial performance: for every 10 percent increase in racial and ethnic diversity on the senior-executive team, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) rise 0.8 percent.
That means businesses that are behind on Diversity and Inclusion today risk getting left behind for good in the future by not attracting the brightest workforce.
At GetLinks we have recently reached more than 120 employees across 4 offices. And even tho we are now 120 employees, I’m glad to say that our management and I have personally interviewed everyone to ensure they fit our core values.
