The Fourth Industrial Revolution will drive a fundamental shift in the relationship between humans and machines. The commercial case for diversity and inclusion will increase. How can you prepare your business for this period of profound structural change? UBS presents three simple ways for any business to promote diversity and inclusion within their company.
If firms want to retain their competitive edge, they will increasingly need to attract diverse workers to fill talent gaps. Data shows that more diverse and inclusive firms have a higher chance of beating peers on profitability. Diversity whether of thinking, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, demography, or other attributes can enhance innovation too. A 2016 study from the Australian Institute of Company Directors found diversity can boost innovation by 20% and reduce risks (which may be overlooked in “groupthink” or monocultures) by 30%.
