乐竞体育赛事直播 Applauds Diversity in Real Estate Management
Successful organizations understand the benefits of fostering a diverse workforce. A diverse workforce leads to better financial results, a broader client base, and attracts top talent.

A diverse workforce cultivates innovation and increases revenue.

Furthermore, according to , companies in the top quartile for racial and ethnic diversity are 35% more likely to produce higher-than-average profits than similar organizations. There鈥檚 no question that maintaining an inclusive, welcoming environment can advance your organization鈥檚 mission and help achieve company goals.
In addition to the benefits of diversity, potential employees are seeking more diverse and inclusive companies. According to , 72% of women, 89% of blacks, 80% of Asians and 70% of Latinos rank workplace diversity as a priority in their job searches. The more diverse your workforce, the more likely you鈥檒l attract a more inclusive workforce. Why? Because 61% of American workers have witnessed or experienced discrimination or harassment in the workplace over the past year.
