DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
How to achieve the diversity bonus
Diversity and inclusion training
Cognitive diversity and unconscious bias
Collaboration in diverse teams reveals differences in expectations, working methods, ways of thinking etc., which can complicate the collaboration. But working in diverse groups also has great potential. Studies show that diverse teams have the potential to perform and innovate about 30% better than non-diverse teams.
Diversity in groups can, in other words, both be an obstacle and a competitive advantage for your organization or team.
It takes more than just setting a diverse group – it takes an inclusive mindset and inclusive leadership to achieve the DIVERSITY BONUS in the workplace, where you truly benefit from the cognitive diversity of your team members and the range of perspectives, creativity and innovation this offers.
