Diversity at Work
Boston Consulting Group, 2017
What's inside?
To truly benefit from diversity, you need to do more than staffing your team with an eclectic mix of people.
Recommendation
Diverse teams tend to be more productive and perform better. More variety in backgrounds and cultures also leads to more creativity and innovation. However, although most managers are aware of the potential benefits, progress on diversity is slow, and even diverse companies often aren’t reaping the benefits that diversity could bring. The Boston Consulting Group uses insights from the fields of biology and strategy to suggest six measures for companies that want to “achieve performance-enhancing diversity.” getAbstract recommends this article to managers aiming to make their organizations more creative and productive by harboring the widest possible range of perspectives.
