Please explain why Diversity in the workplace is important and provide a business you feel has a diverse workforce.
Diversity in the workplace is important because it helps the organization make better decisions, fostering a culture, enlightening creativity and innovation. A room full of people with the same background will increase the chances of potentially, unintentionally disrespecting certain groups. That also means that there may be issues with a lack of fresh ideas because of similar mindsets with similar people with a similar background.?
I feel like 家得宝 has a diverse workforce because they have a program called “The Home Depot’s Supplier Diversity Program”. It has been committed to supporting underrepresented businesses since 2003. Businesses who qualify are women-owned, minority-owned, veteran-owned, LGBTQ-owned, and disability-owned. Businesses apply through The Home Depot's Supplier Diversity portal. The application allows companies to showcase their products and services.?

2 个月This interesting and potentially insightful conversation. Personally, I am currently getting exposure, learning and evaluating these dynamics and the culture of/in organisations. I cannot yet confidently confirm any business but have just learnt of the home depot as provided above. However, I can add that I am noticing an upward trend in which diversity and inclusion is a priority and being prioritized and that's encouraging.
