Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) are not just buzzwords anymore, they are crucial parts in the DNA of today’s organizations. Cultivation of initiatives centered around DE&I creates a culture of openness and mutual support that nurtures employees and facilitates innovation.
This can bring outstanding results for both growing and well-established companies. Research shows that DE&I enhances innovation up to 20%, while also generating better financial results for organizations. But why?
DE&I is not about showing that your workforce is composed of different races or ethnicities. It is about actively supporting the rights and needs of different cultural groups, incorporating them into your talent management strategy and making sure that everyone’s voice is heard. This will result in higher levels of workforce engagement and motivation.
At Talkdesk®, we know the value of supporting our people and allowing them to be themselves in the workplace. We pride ourselves on being an extremely innovative company that moves fast and quickly adapts to shifting customer demands. This would not happen without an understanding and recognition of everyone’s individuality in order to bring out the best in our globally diverse team.
"Celebrating Diversity, Equity and Inclusion means we strive to understand and integrate different backgrounds, experiences, expertise and ways of thinking in order to celebrate each individual Talkdesker and bring out the best in our global family."
Shauna Geraghty, senior vice president, people and operations, Talkdesk
