Let’s drop the cynicism. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the workplace benefits your bottom line. How?

???Diverse teams bring different, broader perspectives and offer creative ideas to generate a pipeline that?leads to closing sales deals.

???It's a big step towards resolving the problem of staff turnover which?reduces expenses?connected to hiring new team participants.

???It significantly impacts our understanding of customer needs, which helps create innovative products for a wider range of customers and ultimately?accelerates revenue growth.

???Gen Zs are demanding more from their employers across every global issue,?especially DEI. Don’t miss out on young ambitious talent due to a poor work culture.

?????73% of companies?with gender-equality practices showed an increase in profitability and productivity!

My main focus this year at Adway is to build a gender inclusive workforce with at least 50% women representation. To attract and retain women we need to have an inclusive culture and leadership!

Here are our top tips for getting this right:

?? Take an intersectional approach when examining women’s experiences in the company.

?? Fix the “broken rung” by fostering a culture where women can grow in the company.

?? Use social recruiting, data and AI technology to ensure you remove bias from your talent sourcing and close those gender pay gaps for good!

All the best, Sofia Eriksson
