Diversification of Your Human Investment Portfolio Can Yield Great Returns


Organizational leadership should employ strategies for diversity to leverage the strength of their organization in the globalized marketplace. The success of a business hinges on the success of its diverse human investment strategy.

To develop effective working relationships with diverse individuals, start with similarities not differences. By acknowledging our similarities and likenesses, we create a starting point for understanding and appreciating diversity in the workplace.

Research suggests that employees (regardless of age, gender, race, education, marital status, religion, etc.), agree on what inspires their commitment to a particular employer and cited the following top 3 factors as being most important:

Belief in organizational mission & business plan
Opportunity to utilize individual strengths and skills on the job
Reward package is competitive

Protect your organization from human and financial losses during this turbulent economy. Turnover is expensive, but attitude is a free way to market and grow any business.
